Pros

Lots of great people to work with. Work life balance is not bad.

Cons

Middle management is very heavy. It can be org dependent, but generally speaking managers optimize for optics, not substance. Leadership incompetence is rampant and morale can be low. Highly political given the middle management heavy structure. Lack of growth opportunities and managers are not serious at developing employees. No accountability in managers because stability of middle management structure is prioritized at the middle management level.

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.
