Business Outlook

Pros

excellent benefits and pay. extremely flexible with time off and ability to work from home when needed. pension plan and 401k are great.

Cons

depending on work area, opportunities for advancement are limited. there have been a lot of changes under the new ceo and no one seems to ever be in a really secure position for too long.

Good benefits/salary - low moral and counter productive culture

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty good benefits and salary.

Cons

They view people and their talents as commodities. Upper management is more concerned with the bottom line than with quality. They continue to attempt to outsource as much as possible with no regard to the quality of the IT product. They are easily sold on flashy powerpoint presentations from outsourcing vendors and don't take into account the difficulties in implementation and the impact on the end users.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to work with commensurate salary. Professional development opportunities with self directed career path. Resource allocations in line with industry.

Cons

Pharmaceutical industry, sales in parituclar, trending in a very negative direction due to external industry pressures. Industry continues to be a political scape goat for too many of the failures of healthcare.
