No pros compared to most Pharma, no pension, and they reorganize about every year, poor morale with sales reps.

No pipeline, me too products. Most reps are looking to get out, better opportunities with other companies. Worst company to work for especially for young people, use company as stepping stone for better opportunities. Management not great, they reorganize every year for the last seven years.

Salary Benefits Office facilities Great colleagues

Re-org after re-org provides little stability and very unhappy work environment. Does not align to company values and redundant staff not prioritised for open roles Very difficult to progress/have a career Very little external training available Offices haven’t got enough desks and parking spaces leading to stressed out colleagues Very poor pension scheme Some bullying styles of management still actively rewarded

Large company (more job security), private medical and generally good additional benefits (e.g sick pay). 11% benefit fund additional to base pay and bonus (as a mix of additional salary, pension contribution, or for gross pay deductible benefits). Great capital and facility investment and good team of people in general. Good personal development opportunities.

Salaries often lag 10-20% behind industry average, lean organisation with high workload and demands on its employees. Inconsistent career progression opportunities and requirements across teams. Increased job responsibilities often do not translate to increased pay or career progression (often seen as personal development opportunities that should be welcomed without reward).

Good infrastructure after several reorganisations Good standing in the stock market (LTI) Great place to learn big pharma Good work life balance overall compared to other companies

Enforcing 3 days a week presence at the office even if your team is overseas Lower competitive pay Toxic culture in certain departments Difficult for lateral moves and promotions No employer pension contribution
