Pros

Progressive pharmaceutical company that has kept up with industry standards.

Cons

Long hours and hard work, lots of friction between department, especially Quality Assurrance and manufacturing. Very political. Bring your game face-no crybabies wanted.

Pros

alot of nice people there, and you get to have alot of days off bc they are 3-4 12 hour days/nights. CONSTANT hours, i get 84 hours for a 2 week pay period

Cons

horrible working conditions. Standing all the time even when its completely unnecessary. Paid far to low for certain work that is done. No reward system, you do better and see nothing but corporate gets bonuses

Pros

Most of the individual contributors are nice. Free cookies on Fridays!

Cons

- no career development, in fact my career went backwards in my time there. - I was lied to by every single person that interviewed me and wound up in a completely different job than I interviewed. - The bonus structure is bogus. If you are told you will get a 20% target bonus that means 20% max. Normally it's 5-15%. - The Morrisville site is incredibly poorly run, they constantly try to fit the same six sigma initiatives to every group regardless of actual efficiency. I spent more time putting tape on floors, removing it and reapplying a different color tape (to accomplish 5S) than I spent doing actual work. - The senior level management micromanages every aspect of your day to day, apparently they don't have much to do. - There are as many managers that make no revenue as there are contributors that make revenue... the managers spend their days wondering how they can get the contributors to work harder so they can be more profitable.... no one ever proposes that there may be too much useless management.
