Used to be a top pharma place to work, now morale is declining

Business Outlook

Pros

With its large size comes competitive benefits, and above average salaries (although these have slipped against competitors).

Cons

Steeped in unnecessary processes. Too large to make much of a difference, Morale very low lately, everyone expecting a lot of change to happen.

Pros

Great colleagues, deliveries can be made for lunch instead of cafeteria.

Cons

Getting our 2019 Performance Measure in June 2019 is simply not right. We've already worked half the year. Too many people are giving direction and unfortunately not one is the same. So many misdirects . Why make improvements for the sake of changing the name of the same task so that so and so is promoted ? Or better yet- why make an "improvement" from an old process ? Sadly, know when working here non direction , passiveness, no decision is the way of life.

Pros

Great location Pay and benefits Bus service for employees outside of metropolitan Boston

Cons

Needs to be a higher level of accountability at the senior management level HR needs to create a culture where mid level employees feel more supported If Lean and Simple has any benefits at all, its to an organization not employees.
