Pros

Decent pay...ummmm what else? Hmmm....I'd have to say nothing!

Cons

External employees are EXPENDABLE, more than in other companies. Management cares little for their contractors. I witnessed blatant racism, poor treatment of handicapped people (both of whom were let go on some phony pretense.) Management's attitude is 'they're contractors, we can do whatever we want' [not according to the EEOC people I talked to.] Managers make mistakes then place the blame on contractors and fire them with no notice. Contractors manage contractors and make hire/fire decisions. HR backs up the decisions and makes no effort to get both sides of the story, or treat people fairly. All in all, a toxic work environment. Stay away, far away!

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
