Current Employee – been working at AMRI
Pros – It'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.
Cons – You'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.
