Pros

The salary and benefits are great.

Cons

It appears to be very poorly run. I am very low on the totem pole so may not realize their skills, but from what I can tell it isn't what one would expect from the largest pharmaceutical company in the world. There are no opportunities for advancement and it is still very much a good ole boys company. They all take care of their buddies.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
