Pros

Some line managers really, really good Flexible location working - closest site, HQ, WFH

Cons

Senior leaders more worried about their position than delivering best for business/patients. Flip flop between latest management 'fad' as if it's the best thing on earth. All work has to be a 'force fit' to the latest model/style...until it is forgotten or a new model comes along. More concerned with following process than understanding requirements.

Pros

Improving the quality of peoples lives by producing world class pharmaceuticals allowing them to do more, feel better and live longer

Cons

Some of the tasks can be laborious and repetitive while others can be very stressful. In my opinion there is very little training with limited progression opportunities. Operators become pigeon holed into doing one task all the time unless your face fits. Blue eyed boy syndrome is prevalent throughout the factory.

Pros

Opportunities for new roles and development. Good salary and bonus. Feeling that it really is a different type of company from other pharmaceuticals - values really at the core.

Cons

Less open to flexible working when you get more senior. 'Boys club' in senior positions - lots of white middle classed middle aged men.
