Pros

It depends on your manager and department. I worked with two departments. Some departments are excellent in providing work life balance and growth opportunities. Have good work life balance in most departments - it really depends on your manager.

Cons

Some managers and departments ( cyber security group i worked briefly with) are control freaks with no direction or cultural awareness. HR is there nominally to onboard employees and help managers but lack insight on employee retention and/or rights. As it is mainly Pharma, it is very hard to move to other internal positions and lacks opportunities and process to do so.

Pros

Great Benefits, it is world class!

Cons

HR is not supportive when requiring help. People abuse the short term disability and nothing is done. The site head is abusive and denigrates people in public making them cry. The environment is toxic and political. People only care about getting product out the door. There is .no regard for people. All the right buzz words like psychological safety and respect are written everywhere, just rarely practiced. If poor management behavior is confronted, you will be terminated.
