Pros

Completely depends on location/team as its so inconsistent across the board. Benefits are pretty good, salary is benchmarked across locations/industries. If you're a "rising star" type of talent, good L&D opportunities. DEI is fantastic and refreshing to see a company not just making noise about but really showcasing their policies.

Cons

Only speaking from my own experience (Global IT), it has got so politically charged where people will do anything to progress in the littlest possible way, no matter who gets in their way. Career progression within the UK is non-existent, at the time of writing there are no senior roles based in the UK and nothing done to make UK colleagues feel included without travelling to Paris where all decisions are made informally. The mandated hybrid policy needs some flexibility for global roles instead of sitting in an office by yourself.

Pros

The recruiter that I worked with was wonderful and very in tuned with my career goals and the type of team I wanted to be a part of. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was transparent on which roles he felt would be a good match based on the leadership, team, and career aspirations.

Cons

I did not have any cons related to my experience.

Pros

None, I cannot think of one pro.

Cons

The worst experience in my 15 plus career in pharma. The managers are horrible, they work you to death and show zero appreciation. I was so thankful I was a temp, as I would never have wanted to be a full time after what I experienced. It's basically a hot mess of bullying by managers and the Sr. Director's have poor SVPs they report into so it makes sense they management style is horrid.
