Pros

Large range of roles across pharma industry

Cons

Toxic Culture - Declining number of contracts so pressure and infighting within departments - Bullying and belittling management - Culture of escalation and blame shifting - Chaotic and ill defined operational processes that leads to poor relations with sponsors and a poor service offered - Some colleagues are personal friends of management so can act with impunity - No training or support from management so services to sponsor are often poor - Workload is very large you are signed to 20 or sometimes over 30 projects. The projects themselves have been won on a false prospectus ( large scope of services with very few hours assigned) - Access to PTO is refused and PTO often changed so management can take the preferred holiday dates and times. If the department I was in is typical of the whole company then I would avoid. I was worked to the point of burn out and belittled and bullied by management.

Pros

You are never bored due to constant work

Cons

Lab is run horribly. Sample Management never sees promotions. Starting salary is good and then you’re trapped in quicksand. I was graded as the highest possible rating for my merit increase and got a $0.26 hourly increase. The company doesn’t care about everyone working on the back end of studies.
