Pros

New to industry opportunities and you get to work with some incredible people in a fast paced environment.

Cons

I refused to sign off an inappropriate brand campaign, which could harm patients and was subsequently managed out of my role, despite being the therapy area expert for years. Money is more important to this company then patients and they'll happily bleed communities dry to improve their sales. The culture is a hierarchy of power with fear and intimidation for those who question why or just say no. It's a miserable life and you will get bullied.

Pros

Good package but not worth the bullying culture, I am struggling with cons other than they have good products and really good sales people shame they can’t retain them

Cons

Bullying culture and ineffective management , if your face fits culture . Horrendous management with zero people skills which was reflected in the GPTW survey

Pros

Interesting products so you can get good experience of selling high value low volume products. You genuinely feel you can make a positive difference to patients lives. Plus the best guys on the ground I have ever worked with.

Cons

Management are clueless. They manage by fear, blame, buck passing. Way to many middle managers, I have never worked in a company where there are so many managers that appear to do nothing. The worst thing about the company is the way they treat employees who offer an opinion when they are asked for open and honest feedback by mgmt. I agree with a previous reviewer, the 2 days extra holiday if you scored the annual survey higher really sat uncomfortably with me
