Pros

Good people very willing to help each other. Benefits Ok. Monthly Friday treat. Big emphasis on Health and Safety. Subsidised canteen with great chef.

Cons

Very lean site under resourced in many areas. Run like a generic Pharma company where every thing is about lower cost. Work life balance is not good. High staff turnover.

Dysfunctional Good Ole Boy/Girl Cliques Rule

Pros

Easy for interns / fresh out of college and PhD individuals to score a managerial role without real word experience. Great boot camp -good place to get managerial experience right out of college and move on.

Cons

PhDs often find themselves in management roles without having to prove themselves with real world experiences, applying what they have learned. Also, people( soft) skills are not a requisite of managerial jobs.This only compounds the problems that are festering due to hiring interns and recent college grads in managerial roles. Believe reviewers when they say that this is not a new company. The company is full of former Abbott employees in high rank positions. They all look and act the same- no diversity of thought/ no embracing of new was of doing things. The company is also a mix of Hospira and Baxter employees that had left Abbott and returned in higher ranking positions. The split from Abbott did not change ANYTHING; but, the name. Good ole boy/girl rules this company. Processes and SOPs are often missing or have gaps that makes the environment chaotic.

Toxic environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Fairly stable - They never get rid of anyone (even if they should). The worker bees are great, but management is mostly comprised of technically savvy, but management-clueless, people.

Cons

Toxic culture in Worcester. The people doing the work are good, but even middle management is so out of touch that they don't even realize people are miserable and trying to escape. Senior site management spends all their time telling everyone how good everything is, even though people can look around and see otherwise. This site used to be great, but now people seem so burnt out. No one seems happy, everyone is overworked and doesn't feel that working harder gets you anything except more work to be buried under.
