Pros

Substantial resources Good reputation among physicians Opportunities for development Adept at identifying takeover targets

Cons

Extremely political work environment. Truth is a negotiable concept. Upper management are very disconnected from the realities of the business. R&D has had very limited success in Europe (luckily Genentech & Chugai are effective).

Not enough support provided, often left to do the work of two people and them get blame if work isn't up to standard, get told this work needs to be done by tomorrow, stay late at office to complete and then told they dont want you working late.
