Pros

Nice Canteen, Free Coffee, Some supportive staff

Cons

This company is a complete disgrace. Recently fired or made redundant a lot of trained staff and had to replace with untrained agency workers by conning them into a contract, cos they believe its a good place. Bribary tactics such as promotions and payrises are often used to stop people leaving and adding to the horrific staff turnover. The management care nothing for workers on the production floor, forcing them to work at an uncomfortable pace in uncomfortable conditions. With supervisors resorting to shouting sometimes racial abuse when unrealistic targets are not met. A ridiculous number of procedures are in place to make your day as awkward and diffucult as possible, and you will be punished and belittled for the slighest deviation from these. Ignore the pretty factory, parties and carnivals, you are forced to have a good time, its just social media propoganda. The truth comes out once inside.

Pros

People 'on the ground' are largely nice, good perks such as an annual carnival laid on for free, a bag of cosmetics every couple of months and a workers committee that lay on events.

Cons

Toxic culture, an air of mistrust everywhere. If you don't get it in writing it can't be relied upon. Any conversations had, even about day to day things, you have to get that senior person to 'add a comment' or send an email. Bizarre culture. Managers generally dreadful, very few exceptions.

Pros

Nice office, system and structures.

Cons

The pressure, the politics, they always like to find someone to blame to instead or focus on trying to fix things. The culture is like that, some people are only faking to be nice to you especially when you’re only a chemist. The location is too remote, otherwise I would stay longer as I’m not really bother on politics as long as it’s not effected me (maybe because I’m just a chemist so less pressure).
