Pros

Can’t think of any honestly.

Cons

Nepotism is the true culture. There are too many people in leadership positions that have no business being in them. However, it’s a game of cliques. While the company culture praises DEI, digital data and innovation, DEPARTMENTS make up their own culture which frowns upon ideas, innovation and creativity having being told on more than one occasion that they are not looking to change anything. It’s unfortunate that leadership has no understanding of any CFR/ICH/GCP/MHRA guidelines and frequently communicate directives in direct violation of all of the above. If you highlight it, you then become the target of bullying, harassment, abuse and intimidation. The issues with data becoming so large that there literally is no way to correct them and expect the company to remain operational. Considering the power trip and narcissism of the leadership team, they micromanage all aspects of work thereby making even project managers nothing more than administrative assistants. For every digital solution the narcissistic leadership that has no interest in learning technology, implements a counterproductive manual process so they can understand… rather than training to learn. Quality is in the toilet with inconsistent, inaccurate data floating that is known to be wrong. The importance of an eTMF is not understood so little to no time is spent on ensuring inspection readiness as years long trials have a handful of documentation filed.

Pros

Great culture and opportunity to work alongside brilliant people. Work life balance is what you make it. Good opportunity to explore other areas and expand skills.

Cons

Things seem to get bottlenecked and there tends to be unclear expectations and lack of ability to use the skills you develop in new roles. Really hard to move up internally
