Pros

Lot of great experience in Global pharma. Very multicultural. European influenced leafership.

Cons

Not enough resources and often working very long hours. Due to acquisition and integration,the company lost really good talented people with exceptional skill set who brought a lot to the table. European influenced leadership often pushes the envelope in product compliance.
