Pros

Nice office location. Possibility to work from home occasionally.

Cons

High turnover of staff is proof that you should stay well away from this dept.. Atmosphere is extremely unprofessional with certain colleagues bullying via micro-managing and scrutinising your every action then reporting back to managers who show blatant favouritism and bias. Workload is insane as certain managers don't hold existing staff accountable for their actions therefore you'll be forced to do much more than your fair share whilst your colleagues relax and browse the internet for the majority of the day. Training is absolutely shocking - trained by colleagues with poor communication skills and important information which would enable you to perform your role effectively is purposely withheld leaving you to struggle to figure things out for yourself. Overloaded with SOP's and documents that have no relevance to your role but which you'll never have time to read anyway due to the heavy workload. Little to no opportunity to get involved in interesting projects - you can literally get stuck indefinitely doing admin work with no elements of science whatsoever.

Pros

Collaborative work environment with a staff focused on improving health and helping our clients bring life changing drugs to market. I love working for a company that I know is making a positive difference in the lives of so many.

Cons

Like any professional services company experiencing significant rapid growth, there are challenges around striking the right balance of staffing/forecasting when staff is needed.
