Pros

Possibility that resources could be put toward acheiving great scientific and clinical research. Many bright people. Pleasant, but expensive, HQ location.

Cons

Strong "cash cow" culture, scientific purpose lost in corporate nonsense. Management is relying too much on finance and marketing to address issues that are really scientific and one unfortnate consequence is that there aren't that many interesting leadership opportunities for the clinical and reseach scientists and there just doesn't seem to be a critical mass of engaged scientists. The way they've constucted the drug development process is anti-collaborative and seems like something you'd expect for a consumer/retail product rather than a technical/scientific product.
