Pros

Significant career progression possible even without a PhD. Promotions based on meritocracy. Great culture. Great annual bonus. Knowledgeable and great colleagues to work with for the most part. Lots of training and development opportunities. Mostly interesting work with possibility for publishing. Managers listen to feedback and generally do a good job of making you feel visible and heard.

Cons

Location leaves much to be desired. Can be very bureaucratic at times. Pay isn't that competitive compared to other big pharma companies. Progression can feel quite slow at times.

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.
