Pros

The only pro is your coworkers because you'll need them to make it through the day. Of course, in such a toxic environment, you need to be careful because those same people will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. There are no pros to working for this company. Stay away until the current executive team is gone.

Cons

Unfortunately Alcami is afflicted with a disconnected "leadership" team. They rule with fear and intimidation because they are clueless as to how to run a CDMO. The new name is just that, a name. There is no culture, no company pride. Don't let the HR department fool you. The four glowing reviews below this are fake and placed by them to better their rating on this site. Look at the dates. Three positive reviews in two days? Rest assured that there are not three people who each decided to post these wonderful canned reviews at almost the same exact time. There has been a mass exodus of veteran talent stampeding out the door because the company is unstable. Do your homework and ask questions before considering a job here.

Pros

It was fun getting trained in new techniques, but they did not prioritize training. The bottom line is all they care about. There were some great coworkers there too. I hope they find a workplace where they are truly valued, cause this is not it.

Cons

I loved working here at first. Then, the good people kept leaving and management became worse. Micromanagement is rampant and new red tape changes to software keep things moving slower and slower. There is no trust in your abilities as an analyst. Management is extremely incompetent and they use fear and bullying through intimidation to deliver results. They will only promote you if they like you as a person. Hard work never gets rewarded, and promotions are unbalanced. Safety, empathy, and quality are taken as suggestions while their antiquated SOPs are considered the highest dogma. Higher turnover rate than most restaurants. Managers talk trash about their employees to other employees. No one who works at the analyst level here is mentally ok. The heartache is not worth the low pay. Watch your back.
