Pros

Adapting to a toxic environment.

Cons

There are many area to improvement within this organisation. Company doesn't appreciate staffs, only talk about Work-life balance but doesnt execute. But leadership drives you worse than a machine. Basically, Individual businesses unit doesn't work cohesively. Expectation of their employees couldnt be define properly, depends on your manager. if he wish to find fault at you, he can use many ways to do so. Manager can use nasty words on their employees and drive them to leave voluntarily. HR is useless in this company. Basically, this company is revenue driven company which is normal. But Finance drives the business with price setting, leaving no room for negotiation for contract orders or other business opportunities. no proper processes quality issues, production doesnt have standard SOP and many other things to mention. I have been in the work force for more than 20 years and at least with 3 Multi national companies before. This is the worst. Hire 1 person (of a higher banding) to replace 2 staffs (of lower banding) MC and hospital leave also required to work. Think twice before joining the company. They use many ways to force people out of the company to answer to shareholders especially during the year end to increase their growth

Pros

You'll get hands-on experience with regulated lab environments, which is genuinely valuable early in your career. The CRO world gives you transferable knowledge of clinical trial operations that other companies will recognize. If you're self-motivated, there's room to build things on your own. I taught myself new tools and built reporting dashboards for my department because nobody else was going to do it. Tuition reimbursement existed when I started, which was a real benefit.

Cons

Compensation does not match the workload. You will be overworked and underpaid, and when you bring it up, nothing changes. I repeatedly asked leadership to let me take on work that aligned with my career goals and education, but I was always "too busy" with my regular responsibilities for that to happen. They'll happily benefit from your output but won't invest in your growth. The tuition reimbursement policy changed while I was mid-degree, which tells you everything about how they view employee development. Benefits are underwhelming for a company this size, and when I needed them most, they fell short. A workplace injury made it very clear where employees fall on their priority list, and it's well below the bottom line.
