Pros

-Workers outside of continuous improvement department seemed like they enjoy their jobs and have career paths -non-manufacturing processes executed well with competent staff -Compensation was adequate if role had stayed true to job description

Cons

-Management has made enemies with most other departments and it falls on engineers to make up for gaps they won't cover -Site leaders focused on small prestige projects leaving current manufacturing to decay while raising expected output -Discriminates against people needing disability accommodations while publicly shaming them for needing help to other employees -Strong culture of keeping secrets to not delay manufacturing. Flagrant violations of FDA inspection policy while turning the other way to increase output -"not my problem" approach to patient safety regarding correct FDA procedure and potential harm from incorrect manufacturing -Required weekend and late night work with no compensation on salary staff with mass email shamings to co-workers and management if you don't come in -Generally decaying facility with outdated equipment. Management most likely looking to sell facility once manufacturing lines are broken -Raising concerns about possible non-conformance's that would slow down of output prompts threats from management about staying quiet and sweeping things under the rug. Threatened with termination for pointing out issues that are inconvenient to rectify,

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
