      Poor management and a ‘front only’ culture

      Senior biotechnologist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people to work with (not including management, e.g. N+1 and above) Acceptable starting pay Great employee benefits.

      Cons

      Useless speak up channel, even though a whole team lodged an official complaint to the management, nothing will happen to them so long their N+1 likes the person involved and cover up with a show only followup action. Management doesn’t care for the well-being of the employees/biotechs, even though the problem is there for a serious shortage of manpower, they continue to force employees to do more than they can cope in order to meet the KPI for low hours of overtime triggered. When employees falls sick, the N+1 questions the employee regards to the legibility of their illness even though it is certified by a doctor that the employee is unfit for duty. Some N+1 abuse their power and not letting people go on their leave even though it has been applied, while telling the team that it is ok to apply and go for it, more so when the N+1 is self-centred.

      Good colleagues, Acceptable Culture but Work-Life Balance is hard to achieve and maintain

      Quality officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Colleagues are team players and supportive. -The culture within the function is acceptable. -Good benefits if you are a full-time employee. -Medical benefits for the whole family are well covered. -Good flexibility in working arrangements (depends on your manager).

      Cons

      -Work-life balance is hard to achieve and maintain. -There are not many benefits for contract staff. -Recognition is only more prominent for others who do projects as compared to routine work. -Salary is not as competitive as they claim to be. -Over-emphasis on being a team but everyone is on their own. -Wrong emphasis on being more productive by over-squeezing a small pool of talent. -Different functions with different KPIs and some are conflicting.
