Pros

Some of the people are excellent. Many have the spirit of collaboration and really want to do well with the company and products.

Cons

They are always restructuring, laying off groups and generally you live under a constant threat your team will be downsized. They change strategy too often and do not gather all the facts before making decisions. Individual managers have too much power over development and goals and if you have a conflict you are screwed. They do not develop their scientists well and treat them like a commoddity.

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
