Pros

A medium sized company feeling, colleagues (not including senior management in Paris) put their best into their work and are dedicated; management knows employees names so, you are not anonymous.

Cons

A culture that rewards lying to benefit oneself at the expense of others. Limited pipeline. Limited/no opportunities for advancement. Too top-heavy an organization. Either you are one of the 'chosen' few or you are not. The feeling that US based employees can be treated however the company desires (they don't have the strict legal rules as in Europe) whether right or wrong.

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.
