Pros

It's a decent place to start a career and grow a little. There can be decent opportunities found for those who come in on an entry level job. There are also opportunities for career development if the funding is there for your specfic department.

Cons

While Schering can be an OK place to start a career and grow a little, dependent upon what area / department you are in, you may be better off searching for another mid-career position elsewhere after a little experience has been gained here.

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.
