Horrible place to work

Pros

Global company takes in lots of non national employees on work visas.

Cons

Doesn't care about staff. Inadequate kitchen facilities. Bad management. Bullying. Employees are replaceable as PPD prefers to sponsor non nationals from non EU countries to work here. Really horrible atmosphere at work. No flexible time.

Friendly Environment but High Workload

Pros

Team is friendly, good training.

Cons

Workload can often be unrealistically extreme. Some people just take advantage of dumping on others and doing less on their own giving family excuses when that has nothing to with work or to determine if another person has to die working. Average pay. Misleaded recognition and credit of getting the work done.
