Pros

Strong systems which do not leave much flexibility for the way things are done. This is a pro because consistency is very important in this industry.

Cons

The pro is also the con. The systems are so rigid that they stifle new growth and inhibit new or unique ideas. Thinking outside the box is not encouraged, mainly because any ideas are so difficult to implement, that no one wants to expend the effort. As a result, process improvement of any kind takes an army to accomplish.

Pros

The company is very diverse and really believe in hiring talented and committed workers. This company also is invested in making great pharmaceuticals.

Cons

The company does frown upon having outside activities that may infringe upon being fully focused on the company. The managers should be developed better in order to inspire the workers.
