Pros
Benefits is the only positive thing about PI in Irvine.
Cons
As a contract manufacturer with NO products of their own, PI runs on thin margins and as a result, will discard employees with literally no notice whatsoever. This must be an Australian thing as they continue this practice without hesitation. Department of labor or solid lawsuit should take care of that! Expectations are high and if you are lucky or (unlucky) to be an engineer or manager, expect to work long hours! This seems to be the norm. Work life balance is non-existent. QA team is a joke! Trying to apply FDA guidelines and expectations to instruments that literally have no product/patient contact whatsoever. In a nut shell, they constantly seek and exuberate on non-quality issues to make themselves heard. They pride themselves on being the PI police and instead of helping only add to the toxic work environment. Owners and consultants are on a whole other level of ignorance!
