Pros

Employment, weather, good location, Florida, better city

Cons

I see significant potential for enhanced technical progress, and fostering better collaboration among departments would be advantageous. As a scientific organization, it is crucial that employees are acknowledged and treated according to their expertise and qualifications, at least meeting the minimum standards; this would cultivate an excellent work environment for talented professionals. However, the existence of micromanagement and the lack of technical proficiency among upper management impede career advancement and overall job satisfaction. Additionally, appointing qualified individuals to their appropriate roles, rather than promoting based on favoritism while neglecting skills and knowledge, would greatly enhance the workplace. It is disheartening to witness such a large organization being led by a departmental head who is deficient in knowledge, skills, and the right mindset. Moreover, some managers seem to act merely as timekeepers for their employees instead of focusing on enhancing their knowledge and skills. The validation team is full of irregularities and dirty politics.

Pros

Good people and good training Good stepping stone for a pharma manufacturing career clean environment

Cons

Insanely underappreciative and borderline abusive upper management 3+ months mandatory overtime might as well tell your kids they are orphans, you will never be home power hungry micromanagers (spies on people who takes breaks) different pay for everyone cannot stress enough how bad the upper management is, so many people are leaving (even people who have been working for there 5+ years!) because of the lack of appreciation, micromanagement, and clear lack of respect for their workers. very disorganized
