Pros

- The opportunity to discover and develop new medicines . - Generally, highly committed colleagues who had a real passion about the work they do.

Cons

- There never seemed to be enough time allowed to see the results of the changes that were implemented. The cycle time is long within this industry, yet significant changes in the research strategy seemed to occur on a 18 month cycle.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
