Great science & Great people, but Poor management
Pros
- Brilliant colleagues (who became good friends!). - Exciting science and use of cutting edge technologies. - Good salary and package benefits when compared to other biotech/pharma companies in the Cambridge UK area.
Cons
I worked for this company for almost 6 years. The company I joined was not the company I left, unfortunately: - The environment was becoming toxic, with poor management and lack of personal development opportunities (at least in the Department I was part of). - Despite having courses and trainings available to all employees, we were not given any time to complete them. - Workload could be massive sometimes. - HR return to the office rules, and implanting ways to track the employees… If they want everyone in the office every day, they could at least make sure that there is enough desk and parking space for everyone. Because that’s definitely not the case, and having people working on the bar or in the kitchen area due to lack of space is ridiculous.
