Pros

Tasks are different day to day, from performing validations on new instruments to routine finished product testing.

Cons

Wow, quite a list! The flow of information stops at the manager level. Analysts must guess at what the priorities are, rather than having clear assignments from their manager. Training is sub-par; often consisted of reading the method, then perform test until auditor tells you that you're doing something wrong; then you adjust accordingly. Managers have their favorites and their scapegoats. Favorites do no wrong; scapegoats do no right (even if transgressions have to be manufactured). Chemists are valued less than other employees.

Pros

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

Good people and good training Good stepping stone for a pharma manufacturing career clean environment

Cons

Insanely underappreciative and borderline abusive upper management 3+ months mandatory overtime might as well tell your kids they are orphans, you will never be home power hungry micromanagers (spies on people who takes breaks) different pay for everyone cannot stress enough how bad the upper management is, so many people are leaving (even people who have been working for there 5+ years!) because of the lack of appreciation, micromanagement, and clear lack of respect for their workers. very disorganized
