Pros

Salary is not that bad. The corporate office (based in the States) is very forward looking and appears to be professionally managed.

Cons

However, the UK affiliate and its senior management was a disaster (till end of 2009). I hear that the new management is slightly better. But some of the old rotten apples are still hanging on in the leadership team.

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.
