PACT Pharma Research Associate reviews

Downsized due to shifting priorities and pursuing too many things at once. Slowly taking away perks in the company like fully stocked fridge, spacey desk space (now we're all cramped in a small space), catered lunches, etc. Lack of transparency and communication with upper management. Managers aren't all equipped to be managers but still put in manager positions. People who apply for certain positions will get hired, and then end up doing a different job than what they originally signed up for, or end up taking up multiple responsibilities that should be another persons job due to lack of people and overly ambitious goals. Most of us are spread thin. We stress a collaborative environment, but most of us are so spread thin that we cant take on other work which is not collaborative. We have good company values, but it doesnt mean much if we dont act on them. The company will say things and then not do them or follow up. Things fall through the cracks.

As the organization is scaling up with new upper and mid-level managers, there has been recent high employee turnover due to harsh re-organization and shift of company's close-knit, open-minded work culture to "Do as being told". RAs of some teams no longer have freedom to troubleshoot or grow.
