      Pros

      Benefits were great even compared to other big pharmas, great people and culture, great dei initiative compared to other pharma companies, flexible working hours, relatively good processes. Great science. Patient focused.

      Cons

      Management is clearly not trained well but they do their best. Could be more transparent. Company wide dei initiatives exist - many opportunities to join calls and discussions but in the day to day it doesn’t seem to matter as much. Probably team/department dependent. Company is restructuring often. Making changes then redoing those changes. Resulting in more and more layoffs then reposting of positions that were cut. I really liked Vas up to the announcement of the huge cuts.

      Pros

      My direct teammates, health benefits good. Awful goals though so bonuses are awful.

      Cons

      No transparency, regional directors are “know it alls” metrics driven. Quantity over quality issues, all leadership cares about is getting a retention binis by keeping people on Ophthamology vs doing whats right. This place is a joke!

      Pros

      Massive opportunity for advancement, challenge, and dinero if you know how to play the game. Play while you can!

      Cons

      There are always people who seem to be vigilantly doing nothing when others are deep in hi stress project work Constant organizational change over the course of decades that sometimes reverses on itself. It's exhausting. Conflicting priorities and decision making. Always be planning the next thing!!
