Pros

A family oriented company which allowed individuals to grow through continuous improvement, regular opportunities in cross functional training across areas of job interest.

Cons

Structure of compliance was sometimes breached, when policy and procedure were not clearly identified, trained and controlled. However, this was not evident in many sites globally and when picked up by the US FDA, other Global sites were stiffled in their ability to operate under new and often unwarrented changes to procedures.
