      Good first experience but don't stay too long

      Pros

      Great for a first GMP experience, exposure to many roles and responsibilities within GMP. A very high standard of GMP is adhered to here, it would be easy to work somewhere else GMP after. Flexibility to WFH depending on needs.

      Cons

      Essentially no distinction between junior and senior lab positions, everyone has a similar workload just pay/position is different. HUGE turnover of staff each year, therefore a lot of new staff and mistakes occur frequently. Your progression can be limited compared to your colleagues just based on if your manager isn't pushing you for new experiences (favouritism contributes to this issue).

      PPD went downhill after the acquisition. It is not anymore the company I knew.

      Pros

      Great people to work with, good continuous training plan which you begin to value after quitting.

      Cons

      Company went downhill after acquisition by Thermo Fisher, at least this feels like it in EMEA: employees are less valued now and used as a work horses which can be used, squeezed like a lemon and then thrown away. Time which is bargained with the Sponsors is not sufficient to complete tasks so employees have to overwork. The most affected position is Remote Site Monitor who, due to company's desire to be more competitive, have to work their heads off in multiple-multiple trials with abundance of sites. Company took some inhuman decisions in 2022 dictated by global politics: lots of layoffs etc. Corporate slogans regarding all-inclusiveness, diversity and equal opportunities are just words not supported by deeds.
