Pros

You'll find good people at Franklin Plaza in Philadelphia. Employees are ethical and strive to be fully compliant to FDA regulations. A strategic focus dominates business operations.

Cons

Strategically strong, culturally weak. Morale has been battered by external issues such as Avandia and by never-ending corporate restructuring. Building is an absolute dump.

Nice people to work with. Lots of info available to employees on website. Laid-back atmosphere. Not high pressure. Company has a good name.

Salaries are not great but not bad. Hard to move around within company. Rarely got a response to applying directly to positions on website even as a contractor.
