Pros

Hybrid work arrangement are in place

Cons

I’ve observed ongoing challenges with Carolina in her role as CCA. She tends to display a negative attitude and frequently complains, which can impact team morale. Additionally, she has not been able to provide the necessary support or information expected from someone in her position. There’s a recurring pattern where tasks are either delayed or delegated to the PEC team without sufficient notice, often marked as urgent at the last minute. This puts undue pressure on others and affects our workflow. It also appears that she lacks the knowledge or training required for the role, which raises concerns about the hiring and onboarding process for critical positions like this. For the benefit of the team and overall productivity, I recommend reviewing her performance and considering whether additional training or reassignment might be appropriate. Going forward, hiring should ensure that candidates not only have the technical skills but also the professionalism and collaboration mindset needed for success in the role.

Pros

Modern and well-maintained office infrastructure Competitive pay structures

Cons

Pervasive office politics and excessive micromanagement Declining employee-friendly policies and culture Recent sudden layoffs have increased anxiety and job insecurity Shrinking teams with increasing workload People are being told to either accept that they are “paid above market” or leave No longer a company for long-term stability or growth Despite being a pharma company, employee health checkups have been downgraded to basic blood tests—no major screenings like cardiac evaluations Mandatory 3-day office policy enforced with tight attendance monitoring—even for employees logging 10+ hours daily Basic amenities like stationery have been removed; employees have to scramble even for a pen or notepad in urgent meetings The overall environment is not mentally supportive or healthy High internal uncertainty—not the right time to join
