Pros

People honestly want to do a good job. They are a friendly, well educated, and very diverse population. Salary and benefits are above average.

Cons

Don't be fooled by the salary. Bonuses are well below target every year. LTI is only for a preferential inner circle and not based performance or role. Senior management practices top down culture and does not support area leadership. The culture drives more work than is possible and it's punitive when not executed. 12 hour days are expected. Facilities are old, processes even older leading compliance struggles across the board. This is also evident in their global leadership. Site leadership has changed 8 times in 5 years (ops and Quality) leaving a fragmented strategic direction. Constructive dismissal is a common practice.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
