Pros

Great pay and benefits. Also, wonderful people to work with all in my work area are willing to pause what they are doing to help you. My manager is understanding when time off needs to be taken and is interested in associates as humans as well as scientists. Overall management is supportive of investing into associates by allowing them continually more responsibility and to take continuing education.

Cons

There is quite a bit of pressure to get work done and a large balancing act needs to happen to work on several separate projects at once. The specialty IT assets for science apps. aren't the best- but then again crack programmers won't choose pharma as their first choice to work.

Advice to Senior Management

We spend too much time trying to get data sorted on outdated systems.
