Pros

The company has invested in its technology and makes use of an internal social community also utilized for communications, education, news, project groups, etc. SAP is the ERP in use which standard which enables standardized processes and access to information. Since the company is global there are numerous opportunities to grow and experience the world for the highest achievers.

Cons

There can be a bit of unnecesary corporate buearocracy at times. Many jobs have been eliminated or are in jeopardy as a result of the 2009 merger with Schering Plough.

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
