Supportive colleagues but toxic culture and high turnover
Pros
There are some genuinely supportive and hardworking colleagues, and the role offers exposure to international clinical research projects that can help broaden industry experience.
Cons
Despite some positives, the overall workplace culture made the experience extremely difficult. Leadership often lacked transparency, professionalism, and accountability, creating an environment where intimidation, favouritism, and inconsistent decision-making felt normalised. Employees frequently did not feel psychologically safe, and concerns raised through HR channels rarely resulted in meaningful action or support. Staff wellbeing appeared to be a low priority, particularly during periods of stress or personal difficulty, while internal politics often seemed to outweigh fairness or merit. High turnover across teams and declining morale reflected wider organisational issues that management appeared unwilling to seriously address. For those seeking a respectful, stable, and supportive workplace culture, this may not be the right environment.
