Pros

Met some nice people over the years but most of them left

Cons

Someone already mentioned it here, most of the company is mates hired by mates. So if you are not part of the group, you will not get far. There is no real promotions and room to improve, unless you ask for it. Meaning that if you keep quiet and do your job, you will never get promoted. On the other hand, people who just talk and don't do much will get relly far, just because they know who to smille at and get overexcited about everything they saying. If a majority of your team is in another country (France), you won't be included in most of the discussions or planning, or if you are included they will just send you a 10 days worth of emails, that are all in French and ask you to replay. HR is terrible, if you complain of being mistreated or bullying, it will probably be you leaving the company.

Pros

The recruiter that I worked with was wonderful and very in tuned with my career goals and the type of team I wanted to be a part of. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was transparent on which roles he felt would be a good match based on the leadership, team, and career aspirations.

Cons

I did not have any cons related to my experience.

Pros

None, I cannot think of one pro.

Cons

The worst experience in my 15 plus career in pharma. The managers are horrible, they work you to death and show zero appreciation. I was so thankful I was a temp, as I would never have wanted to be a full time after what I experienced. It's basically a hot mess of bullying by managers and the Sr. Director's have poor SVPs they report into so it makes sense they management style is horrid.
