Pros

401k (9%), Leave, Vacation, and PTO meet the industry standards.

Cons

-Compensation is well below other pharma companies (The same position is paid 50-75% more elsewhere). -Yearly merit increases don't keep up with inflation even for high performers. -Turnover is horrendous, I've never experienced a company with such high turnover. Experienced coworkers don't really exist, compensation is so low that people are constantly churning through positions/departments. Expect to constantly be doing other's jobs in addition to your own without any recognition or reward. -Benefits and perks are reduced every year -Outdated equipment and processes (new facilities built with old technology, do not expect cutting edge). -Culture is non-existent. Its "Save money and be cheap as possible." -Expect to train lower level team members that are paid significantly more than you. The compensation structure is set up so that external hires are paid significantly more than those that have been with the company for years and are experienced. -Very bitter workforce due to low compensation, high turnover, low recognition, high workload, etc.

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.
