      Pros

      High visibility, fast paced, great learning opportunity, a mix of science and business to build both skills (medical strategy, AOP, facilitating meetings, planning agenda and meetings minutes, thought partner to medical directors), role is like a Chief of Staff.

      Cons

      Lots of ambiguity, hit the ground running from day 1, long hours, need for intense multi tasking, can sometimes feel lonely (lack of a thought partner), need to switch between science and business quickly.

      Pros

      The benefits package is strong and competitive, which adds a lot of overall value. There are many internal departments and career paths, making it relatively easy to explore new roles and grow within the company. On-site cafeteria is a convenient and appreciated perk. Many colleagues are highly experienced and have been with the company and industry for years, making them great resources for learning and mentorship.

      Cons

      Promotion policies can be limiting—there seems to be an informal rule that prevents employees from being promoted more than once in a year, even for high performers. Salary could be more competitive compared to market rates. Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
