Pros

None. Stress and Politics are the buzz words. R&D Sr. Management rules and anyone questioning their ideas and their greatness is put on the chopping block. R&D is totally fake and products are based on fake science and misleading claims.

Cons

Survival skills will need licking the senior management. Extremely corrupt, unethical, dishonest, scheming and manipulative system. Need to have these traits to survive. Avoid and stay away if you can. No career development & advancement opportunities. Extremely stressful environment.

Pros

The benefits, but that's from Allergan and AbbVie. Allergan and AbbVie is a great place to work.

Cons

SkinMedica, only SkinMedica R&D, is one of the most toxic and abusive place to work in. Favoritism at its best, tattle telling, disrespecting, and worst of all ganging up and bullying and those that did this gets away with it. They are acting nice, acting, but they will quickly point at you if something goes wrong even if it's not your fault. They don't train properly and they don't hold themselves accountable. They will point fingers at you and make you look bad and talk about you behind your back, sometimes indirectly in front of you. If you think working here will make your resume look good then be prepare to endure the toxicity and bullying. Be prepare to being talk down and feeling de-moralize. It's about power trips and insecurities. Also, be prepare to be work to death. Loads and loads of work. It never ends. What's sad is that if you don't deliver then you're not working beyond expectations. One more thing, they are never wrong. One last thing, even though you think you're compensated well, they will make sure you work for that compensation.
