Pros

Very science- and innovation-focused; it's a pleasure to work with in-house scientists. Good relationships with external experts and broad scientific community. Company is filled with talented, passionate, experienced individuals across all levels. Salaries offered in the UK are competitive (although I heard that they are less so in other countries).

Kontras

No opportunities for professional training/development. No structured approach to training. No objective setting or performance review cycle (however, they have been promised soon - fingers crossed). In the UK, the benefits are rather average. Some people at Senior Director level who have been with the company for years are extremely discriminative, abusive and unprofessional, to the extent of driving away talent. The company has 6000+ employees, but the senior leadership operates as if it's still 200 people, resulting in stalled processes and wasted opportunities. Department heads don't have any decision-making power. Historically the company is German, and it looks like senior level employees based in other countries are not given enough decision-making power compared with their Germany-based colleagues (although, admittedly, the Germany-based colleagues have been with the company longer on average, so maybe the trust is won in time?)

Pros

People here genuinely want to do the right thing and come up with new therapies for patients. The company does want to do what is right for its employees as changes are ongoing. Site leadership tends to try and shield the employees from the chaos at the global level and senior leadership, and there is good experience present at the lower levels of the company.

Kontras

Senior leadership is very inexperienced, especially when it comes to making decisions, and sticking with them. Priorities are constantly changing and it can be infuriating at times, especially when the same team members are working on the different projects at the same time with the same priorities. Some days it feels like management is a a dog chasing cars, and does not know what to do when it finally catches one. There used to be a great culture at sites in the US. The company has underwent multiple layoffs and site closures over the past year, so the culture here has been negatively affected by the constant barrage of negative news and constant changes. There is a concerted effort to prioritize the activities at the company for the future, but we will be going through a lot of growing pains as the company reorganizes. Ultimately there is a bright future in store.
