Pros

Great facility with all the fancy bells and whistles. The benefits and compensation are great, won't get anywhere near it in academe.

Cons

It's very corporate. In my 1 year there, there were 3 massive lay-offs as projects just got dumped; even scientists who were very accomplished and had been there for 10 years lost their jobs. It didn't affect me, but other post-docs lost their mentors and project, and kind of got lost in the shuffle.

Pros

Great training program and you learn a lot about the disease states and your products. Well known company and products that can usually get you into offices. Great people and amazing benefits!

Cons

Lack of job stability with the constant restructuring and downsizing due to drugs losing exclusivity and various other factors.

Pros

Only big pharma in NYC, convenient location in midtown Manhattan, intelligent colleagues, potential for opportunities across company (assuming you last through all of the cuts / layoffs), excellent healthcare benefits

Cons

Negative culture, lack of camaraderie, nonstop cuts to benefits and infinite layoffs, management's inability to stop repeating the same bad decisions, eventual move from NYC to Collegeville, big brother-like environment
