Pros

Nice to be able to work for a company that develops and sells such an important product. We enhance the quality of life and treat conditions that are to the benefit of people and this is a very, very compelling reason to work in this area. Good co-workers and the proper equipment to do your job.

Cons

Large company with strong competition from generics. Generics have the potential to erode profits in the future and this is stressful for current employees who often wonder what will happen when patents expire. There are layoffs and consolidation that does not help morale and can be demoralizing.

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.
