Pros:

- Incredibly smart co-workers and boss. I really connected with them.
- Competitive and demographic analysis was very interesting.
- I know understand how pharmaceutical companies make projections and how they view their marketing.

Cons:

Genzyme was merging with Sanofi which made things a little crazy and I could tell there was some unrest amongst employees.

Advice for other students:

Pharma marketing will only grow, get in it.
