Pros

For the time being, is financially stable - lack of investment in newer technology is losing market share to competitors.

Cons

Yearly performance raises, even for highly performing employees are extremely low, sometimes completely non-existent. Promotions are given predominantly to members of the "good ole boy network" or based entirely on nationality. Excessive amount of money spent to offer the best positions to and move/ totally support 'ex-pats' without any opportunity for locals or Americans to apply. Since becoming a "wholly owned French company", the work and atmosphere have totally degraded.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
