Pros

Global business Working with some very smart people Director of Communications is brilliant woman with a very good head on her shoulders. Communications team is strong and dynamic group of individuals.

Cons

Toronto office is having a really hard time. Senior management are not aligned. Very low moral among employees. Approximately half of the Toronto business is made up of contracted employees who receive no benefits or thanks from the company. They are also not allowed to partake in any employee recognition events(summer BBQ) despite the fact that many of the contractors have worked at the Toronto office day in and day out for years.

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!
