Thanks for taking time to share a review. We recognize that being a large and complex company sometimes results in lengthier processes. And, as an FDA regulated company, there are myriad considerations that often impact timelines. With this in mind, we continue to work on streamlining our processes, incorporating more agility into the way we work whenever possible. We encourage you to consider further engaging your manager in an open & honest dialogue to see if there might be opportunities to address your concerns and better yet, identify possible opportunities to improve upon your department processes.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
