Pros

There were some good people but most left on voluntary redundancy or those who didnt get lucky resigned with no pay off. Great that they pay for parking for all staff Nice "human touches" like a present at Christmas Superb that they still pay a Christmas bonus

Cons

They are not good at rewarding those that deliver- focus is more on faces fitting so keep in with the "leadership" team. Lots of parochialism with "leadership" team looking after their own personal interests rather than the good of the company. Little freedom in the UK with lots of decisions not taken in case Paris has a different view

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
