PPD reviews

This company was okay before COVID, it was an easy job, boring but stable. But after COVID the workflow increased due to the quick demand for treatment and vaccines. The company did grow and increase in revenue but the wages did not increase. I worked there for 3 years. I did a lot of overtime, which is common there, and people barely got livable wages. I only stayed because I needed a job during those COVID times. The company still refuses to increase wages even after being absorbed by a larger company and competing research labs pay an additional $7-$10 for entry level. If you do work here, remember you can always leave for more pay and a more secure work life balance at another company. It is also difficult to transfer unless you know someone in a higher position or another department, hard work means nothing here because supervisors do not monitor you.

Essentially no distinction between junior and senior lab positions, everyone has a similar workload just pay/position is different. HUGE turnover of staff each year, therefore a lot of new staff and mistakes occur frequently. Your progression can be limited compared to your colleagues just based on if your manager isn't pushing you for new experiences (favouritism contributes to this issue).
