Pros

Benefits and perks. Salary is good. Known as the golden handcuffs. I would say profit sharing but they just essentially took that away from Managers

Cons

Good old white boy’s club. If you don’t fit the mold, you’ll never get promoted beyond manager. They do not value education, leadership is threatened by higher educated people of color and women. Set up to fail if you have potential that threatens current leadership. Not organized, no shared information across regions or divisions. Hold on to non-productive employees. Non-scientist leading scientific divisions. Marketers run the show but rotate every 6 months so there is no continuity with the business, RDE, and regulatory.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
