Promising Company undermined by poor transparency - Anonymous employee Alvotech Employee Review

I worked at Alvotech and was disappointed by the company’s lack of transparency and fairness. One of the biggest issues was the inconsistency in scientific titles and compensation. Job titles did not always reflect employees’ experience, responsibilities, or expertise, particularly when compared with equivalent roles in Iceland. This created confusion and frustration among staff. Communication from management was often insufficient. Important decisions affecting employees were not always explained clearly, leaving people uncertain about expectations, career progression, and future opportunities within the company. Compensation was also below market level for the responsibilities and expertise expected. Given the level of scientific knowledge and experience required for senior roles, the salary did not feel competitive. The company has many talented scientists and works on interesting projects. It also benefits from a strong collaborative culture inherited from Xbrane. However, leadership should improve transparency, communication, and fairness in career progression, job titles, and compensation if the company wants to retain experienced employees.
