Pros

Elite scientists and engineers, each on top of their game. Great learning environment with some SMEs truly experts in their field. PD practices, methodologies, approaches are very much science driven Proven by many decades of excellence. Some groups have great camaraderie and chemistry. So many resources (talented colleagues, learning opportunities) There will always be some interesting projects to be involved in (in addition to the pipeline programs)

Cons

Competitive, competitive, competitive. Pervasive sense of elitism and excessive pride. Some established practices are too fixed and accepted without questioning or challenging them (no matter how outdated they may be). People are generally not as receptive to new ideas or "other" opinions apart from a few usual vocal suspects. Some groups have inexperienced and much to be desired mid-level managers. Headstrong junior scientists with false pretense of power. Unrealistic demand for workload. No work/life balance.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
