Once a great company - Becoming more and more cut throat

Director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Global experience, diverse range of OTC brands, Opportunity to move into other roles if so desired. Very good benefits. Pay scale is on par with industry standards

Cons

Room for advancement mostly if you are British - with some exceptions; depends on your manager. Company leadership used to value its people. Now, not so much.

Pros

Commercial side of the business is very different than the medical side.

Cons

poor support for conflict management tenure takes precedent. Upper management are lacking in core people management skills. digressive conflicts are allowed to exist with no intervention. being a gross workaholic with obviuos health issues makes you a superstar!! People turn a blind eye to what they know is unethical and wrong.
