Pros

There were some good people but most left on voluntary redundancy or those who didnt get lucky resigned with no pay off. Great that they pay for parking for all staff Nice "human touches" like a present at Christmas Superb that they still pay a Christmas bonus

Cons

They are not good at rewarding those that deliver- focus is more on faces fitting so keep in with the "leadership" team. Lots of parochialism with "leadership" team looking after their own personal interests rather than the good of the company. Little freedom in the UK with lots of decisions not taken in case Paris has a different view

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
