Great Company to work for!

Business Outlook

Pros

This may be a new company in this sector, but it's been built on over 30 years' previous experience as Covance, then LabCorp, before streamlining and re-branding as Fortrea. The new company may be smaller now, but it feels more responsive and more focused on their mission to do things well, and in a very timely manner... with a lot of focus on employee welfare too. We all have the option to work remotely, but I prefer an office environment to my dining table... so it's good to see others in the office who also feel the same!

Cons

As a new company certain processes are still being put in place, so this may sometimes hinder productivity... but it's a necessity and will continue as we go for the time being, to ensure things are done correctly and are relevant to how we want to work in this new phase.
