Pros

Just a few, nice individuals here.

Cons

Based on my observations over the years as a full-time employee, there is: -Blatant favoritism -Lack of recognition -Lack of honesty and integrity from coworkers and management (a lot of awful things are verbally said behind closed doors, never in writing) -Be prepared to find out important things through the grapevine rather than through direct communication -Poor management/lack of actual training -You will definitely feel like someone is breathing down your neck and you’ll be walking on eggshells depending on who manages you -Poor career development (lots of promises that never come to fruition) -Lack of trust and transparency (you will be kept in the dark in regards to important issues, especially if you’re not a part of the clique) -The textbook definition of a hostile work environment -Cattiness and high-school cliques still exist here (the amount of vitriol and gossip was absolutely unreal) -Bullying, sexist, and snide comments are frequent here -Unhealthy work loads for some team members while other members of your team slack and actually SLEEP on the job and do non-work related things due to being WFH -Be prepared to pick up the slack on your team due to those that refuse to pull their weight -The pay is NOT in line with the level of responsibility piled on you. You will be taken advantage of! -The quality of some of the individuals being hired at this company nowadays is shocking, most likely due to the high turnover -A lot of disengaged individuals that are okay with merely existing to collect a paycheck -Unorganized, poor and outdated workflows -This company has a poor brand and reputation in the industry -Many only care about themselves (rude interactions when reaching out for help/assistance) -This organization has a toxic, miserable, and mediocre culture -People will witness toxic behavior but look the other way I would advise to NOT stay long if you don’t want to waste your talent and potential. There are plenty of other companies to work for on this planet, this place is just not worth your time.

Difficult and Depressing Place to Work

Pros

Benefits are great. Pay can be good depending on which department you work in.

Cons

High turnover rate. Management does not care about career development for employees unless you are a senior leader. With the closure of so many sites and loss of jobs, it has become a very dark place to work. Company prioritizes profit over products and employee welfare.

A Desirable Employer with a Unique Culture and People-Centric Focus

Pros

Having worked at Mylan/Viatris for almost 10 years, I can say without a doubt this is a desirable employer. The company truly has a unique culture with a people-centric focus. There is a “roll-up our sleeves, let’s get to work” mentality that became instilled in me. I didn’t fully realize it at the time, but I was given the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself all the while doing it with people that possess the same values and work ethic. Mylan/Viatris provided me leadership skills, lifelong relationships, challenging assignments, and most importantly a company that was delivering quality products at lower costs to patients throughout the world. • Leadership skills – I knew very little about servant leadership nor did I possess the confidence to speak to senior leaders before starting. I was consistently challenged to deliver quality work with the expectation to provide guidance to ensure leaders understood the business and could make key business decisions. I learned a lot about myself, my work style, as what it took to have a strong work ethic. • Lifelong relationships – I can’t state this enough: People care about each other and are willing to work together to ensure the organization as well as the individual succeeds. There truly is a sense of “we are in this together.” There are highs and lows just like with any job, but your peers will always be in the trenches with you ready to deliver a quality product. I will always value the relationships I had at Viatris and will continue to carry them with me throughout my career. • Challenging assignments – If you like fast paced and an ever-evolving landscape you will enjoy working here. Viatris is at the forefront of an evolving generic industry with a rich pipeline of complex generics and biosimilars. During my time there I was able to work in the North America business as well as at Global with continuing career progression throughout my time. • Company mission – If you believe in access and affordability for important medicines for patients, Viatris is at the forefront of launching products that deliver on this goal. Despite the cost of healthcare continuing to increase Viatris is helping to deliver savings to patients and healthcare systems by spending R&D dollars to launch copycats to high cost branded drugs. The bottom line is this is a company that cares about people, has a culture like none other, and has a mission that delivers a greater good to society. I would recommend it to any prospective employee.

Cons

I don't have any cons to share.
