Business outlook
Pros
The benefits are outstanding, Boehringer makes it a priority not to hire too many employees to prevent layoffs. As a result, layoffs are extremely rare for salary employees. Boehringer pumps 10% of the profits back into R&D which makes my job so much easier and more exciting.
Cons
As Boehringer grows, so grows the political environment. Management is not well organized, but this can be said for most companies. Because it is such a good place to work, people do not leave. This can make career development and moving up the ladder very difficult. When a new process is introduced, Boehringer tends to hire someone new rather than develop an existing employee into the new process, slowing any chance of career development/improvement.
