Pros

Company is working hard to change. Yes it will still normally do business the old way, but leadership is working hard to change the culture to make it more inclusive for all generations of employees. They are realizing the need for talent development. You need to remember this is an old company, so change will not be immediate.

Cons

Change does not happen quickly, but senior leaders are on track. It is a large company and for the most part, you have to do all your career development. The options are there, but to expect the company to do all the employee development work for you is asking a lot.

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
