Pros

There is a good mission behind the company Cafeteria on site, albeit as expensive as a takeout

Cons

Sexism and gender wage gap: I (female) was shut down on negotiation when hired on, and 2 months later a male was hired they negotiated salary with him, settled on 10k more than me and offered him a 10k sign on bonus. Senior leadership is so disconnected from common level employees Preach flexibility and mindfulness, but increase days on site from 2-3 and then to 4 with no notice or compensation When moving up in level grades they claim you cannot increase more than 10%pay regardless of job, yet claim the job title in that grade determines the pay, so increase shouldn't count Too many systems and no integration of systems so you're bouncing around Training is confusing and management provides no guidance for what is needed or how to complete it.

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!
