Pros

Great products and technologies ; Get to be part of and young and awesome talent; Inspiring leadership and awesome Teams; Great attention to quality and right amount of processes. Great team spirit and very enriching culture; Thanks ET India! Never let naysayers come even closer!

Cons

Not able to fire poisonous folks who have no work except to be jealous of other teams. Please take quick action to exit these folks who keep cribbing for every thing from policies, food, coffee and transport. Last thing on their mind is work though they keep claiming they are working hard (really ?). Greed, selfishness, incompetence and ignorance are the hallmarks of these folks. These folks never had anything useful to contribute at any level- self, team or org. It is funny when we hear "business" and "revenue" talk from these folks who don't even know how to perform. Every month they come up with a 'cry' topic. Wonder how can any organisation put up with such nuisance and for how long? Need better first level managers and not cry babies and gossip gang. Some of these folks cannot even communicate forgot managing careers for the assigned teams. Basic things like 1:1s are a disaster. Why do they still want to continue as "managers". Feel they are really damagers. I feel it is not their fault but those who hired these incapable managers. And even worse are the folks these incompetent managers hired. Together these two groups are a deadly combination to stall any success or good work. Wonder why they don't realise and just leave instead of making it hard for all.

Pros

If you're stuck in the Greenville area for some unfortunate reason, it's a job.

Cons

This place is functionally a mafia. The same rotating cast of "old head" people that have been at the site for decades watches each other's backs, and overworks everyone else. God help you if you're actually capable or smart, because they will overload you as much as possible, while ensuring that they, and their pals, do as little as possible. They really have no concept of capacity management at all. There is no math, metrics, or even mild logic that goes in to how they define R&R or distribute work. No one really knows how to do anything at all. Things that sound simple, like shipping a sample for instance.. Well, clear your afternoon. It doesn't help that all of their systems are completely antiquated. I should also note that you won't get any support on anything really, from training to execution. No one wants to be here, and it's so obvious. The place looks and feels like a prison because it is. It doesn't even pay that well compared to other pharma companies! That barbed wire isn't there to keep people out, it's to keep them in.
