Pros

Attemps to improve the company with compliance and proper cGMP training of their employees. Good temporary employment opportunity to get into pharma industry.

Cons

I was hired as a temporary employee, but soon got terminated a week and a half into TRAINING. I never got the chance to display my lever of performace or fully use my training on the floor. The job only wasted a total of 64 hours of my time, where I had even rejected an interview offer prior to this job acceptance. Absolutely unreasonable and illogical termination. Do NOT be fooled or tempted by the salary or the seeming kindness of the employees. They can and will terminate with ZERO prior notice or warning and with no real applicable reason.

Pros

Work life balance and free coffee.

Cons

I left this job with more frustration than growth. The level of incompetence and bias in the management team is staggering. Micromanagement, feedback met with outright hostility, inability to reflect and improve - this site checks all the boxes.
