Pros

In MDT, you may get competitive salary and benefits. The working environment is nice and cooperation in colleagues and cross functions are great. You can also expand your knowledge through very various selected training or courses. Their products are also very profitable. The company is very quality oriented which is a good news for patients.

Cons

The middle or lower level management is very bad. Some managers or director don't even have basic domain knowledge and even worse they act as domain experts to provide wrong direction. Some managers even only presented happy data or even mis-leading data to claim good work. Shame on that.

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
