Pros
I am sure there are some
Cons
I’d suggest approaching the Market Access group with a bit of curiosity and due diligence (I can’t speak to the other COEs). The leadership team there is relatively young and has largely grown up within the firm (CBP), which creates a very consistent internal way of thinking and operating. That can be helpful for alignment, but it also means the culture tends to favor certain communication styles and established perspectives. The environment is quite top-down, and success is often tied to how well someone fits that model. Thoughtful debate and alternative viewpoints aren’t always emphasized in the same way, even when they’re raised with the client’s best interest in mind. Over time, broader engagement challenges have come up, though these are usually discussed at the individual or team level rather than as structural topics.
