      Need for Better Leadership

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      More than 70% of the staff are team -company-goal oriented and friendly. The Chiefs on board are supportive for process improvement and harmony. Several on-going opportunities to improve the company processes (in all departments), but requires one to be a little out-spoken and needs support from above.

      Cons

      An inherent lack of organized and responsible leaders. Tendency to operate away from the Plan. Instructions are not always consistent but expected to be followed on the fly. Employees are enforced to work more than 9 and up 17 hr shifts without compensation including staff who are sick with the flu. Assignments of same tasks are delegated to multiple people results in unnecessary duplication of efforts and confusion. Millenniums showing little respect.

      CEO, Bert Liang was the best part of that company. Great spokesman for biosimilars

      After CEO left, company culture changed for the worst.

      Pros

      The people are OK. They're nice and mean well. Lots of hard workers.

      Cons

      The leadership team is awful. Zero EQ. Got rid of the only diversity they had. Pretty toxic bunch.
