Pros

This company will provide you with the tools neccessary to launch and continue a successfull pharmaceutical career. I would suggest this company to anyone looking to advance their career or start it off!

Cons

It is in fact a large corporation which means that it is sometimes difficult to stand out above the rest. With continued hard work and dedication your name will be heard and you can be identified as a contributer to the company as a whole,
