Pros

It depends on your manager and department. I worked with two departments. Some departments are excellent in providing work life balance and growth opportunities. Have good work life balance in most departments - it really depends on your manager.

Cons

Some managers and departments ( cyber security group i worked briefly with) are control freaks with no direction or cultural awareness. HR is there nominally to onboard employees and help managers but lack insight on employee retention and/or rights. As it is mainly Pharma, it is very hard to move to other internal positions and lacks opportunities and process to do so.

Pros

Good work life balance overall. Many good colleagues.

Cons

A lack of transparency and organizational strategy at the level of upper management. Everyday felt like the first day and no one knew how to do tasks or who to ask about it because the guidance is poor and processes changed frequently.
