Current Employee – been working at AMRI full-time for more than 3 years

ProsGenuinely a good company to work for. Really does try to generate great solutions for our life science customers. We're now starting to believe that we are a truly global business and this is making a real motivational difference.

ConsIts been a tough last couple of years. Budgets have been squeezed, staff count has been reduced and management didn't appear to be listening. Happy to report that all these things are beginning to change for the better.

Advice to Senior ManagementThanks for the SMARTSOURCING program. It is important that you drive this hard as it is starting to work.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at AMRI

ProsIt's a great place to learn. You'll acquire a tremendous amount of technical knowledge, experience & skills, and learn to work under pressure in a very fast-paced environment.

ConsYou'll probably never work less than 45 hrs a week. Chances are, you'll work 50+ hrs per week, with additional hrs on weekends. The hrs can be difficult if you have a family.

Current Employee – been working at AMRI

ProsCompany is reasonable toward employee, there is flexibility if you need time for your family or personal reasons and very cordial atmosphere.

ConsI don't know, here, how you can go further or go high up in your career because there is limited scope in some areas.

Advice to Senior ManagementIt would be nice if there will be benifit for every body, especially medical benifit, dental benifit and for the employee's families, also. Thank you.
