Pros

Breath and depth of work Focus on internal development

Cons

Exceptionally cheap - e.g. BYOB happy hours, strains vendors, lowballs employees at every chance Analytics / insights department (CD&A) gets paid really low compared to other internal groups Year end reviews always require someone to be at the bottom and get less than 100% of their bonus Won't pay people what they're worth. Present job offers at less than minimum of the candidates range and won't accept counter offers Marketing is seriously under performing. There's some training going on but the leadership doesn't understand marketing themselves. And beyond supporting from a product/sales perspective, CD&A lacks the ability to provide strategic guidance for marketing excellence. Medical benefits are garbage. Most expensive of several pharma companies I've seen and lowest benefits

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.
