Pros

Large company with opportunities in many fields. Opportunities to advance IF you play the game.

Cons

Poor work life balance with a lot of unpaid overtime. Employees must compensate for shortcomings of vendor and contracting partners. Promotions based more on connections than merit - very political. Incompetent management at departmental level. Low salaries.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
