Pros

Supportive, thoughtful management that empowers employees with real autonomy and ownership.

Cons

The grind of pharma is very real in this role, with insanely high expectations and poor access at many call points. The matrix team structure adds unnecessary complexity and a significant amount of repetitive, extra work for reps. The interview process is also extremely demanding and aggressive — more intensive than many executive-level roles — which feels excessive for a rep position. Diversity and inclusion is a major focus and clearly prioritized, sometimes to an overwhelming degree.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
