Pros

It was very nice to work for a company with such a good reputation; the climate in pharma can change so quickly that although I was lured in with promises of advancement and additional opportunities my employment contract was not extended regardless of excellent reviews by my co-workers and supervisors. The science performed is top-notch and well-executed.

Cons

It is a big company and the red tape can slow down progress. Research projects can get lost in the shuffle and peoples' hard work can go unrecognized or even unnoticed by senior management.
