Pros

Flexibility work environment, decent pipeline,multiple acquisitions lead to growth and projects,lot to learn good macro culture. Good benefits and vacation plan.

Cons

Toxic,egoistic and petty managers who demand high level of efficiency, expectations are through the roof and which are ever increasing. Managers are inexperienced and don't know anything about being efficient themselves. No coaching or guidance available. Most people are burnt out due to heavy work load due to high expectations and manager not pulling their weight. If you are incompetent and lazy, this is the best place to be and you can survive for a long time without anyone noticing. Highly beaurocratic culture. No action plan to integrate acquired companies. Chaotic work culture. Salary below industry standard.

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!
