Pros
Everyone here is talented and passionate about what we do. It shows in the work, in the work environment and in the interactions from day to day. It may sound like a cliche but it feels like a family. People care about each other and management does not ask anything that they are not themselves willing to do. If people stay late for a submission or to meet a deadline, the rest of the team provides support, whether it’s jumping in to help (even if it’s not their “job”), bringing in dinner, or anything else the team needs. The work is demanding but your talent is respected, nurtured and appreciated. Everyone from the CEO to HR and other leadership is invested in your growth and and helping you succeed.
Cons
Agency life is not for everyone and neither is working in pharma marketing. The pace is fast and deadlines are intense. Pharma rules can be frustrating. That is something anyone considering a position here should be aware of. I like the challenges of coming up with creative solutions within those constraints but recognize that it’s not for everyone.
