Poor business model, its all about quantity not quality, scientific excellence is not priority, its all about getting the most work done in the shortest amount of time, and then they want to act like they actual care about quality. The whole quality thing is just so we do just enough to not get shut down by the FDA.
The first, second, and third priorities are to make the most money for the executives and business teams. Efforts to Improve methods and attempts to streamline/increase efficiencies are futile. There is never any time to improve or innovate due to the high work load. Even if you had time to innovate and try to improve efficiencies, your efforts would most likely not even be noticed, or purposely overlooked.
Executive team is delusional, they do not understand the implications that major changes have on the everyday lives of the analyst.
It is like revolving door, intelligent flexible people get out soon while other people who have family ties or commitments to the area are the people who stay more long term...and lately even those experienced analyst and reviewers are leaving.
Analyst are underpaid, even for the area which is a relatively low living expenses.
Job titles and experience seem irrelevant. I was performing the exact same testing and had more responsibilities compared to people making almost twice my salary. They don't care who does the work, as long as it gets done, as a result of this people are rarely recognized for their hard work and contributions.
Major Disconnect between business/Human Resources side and actual work that is being done by the analyst.
Human Resources are a joke, they do not even know what analyst do in the lab, they are just doing the bidding of the executive team.
In my experience almost all accounts of employees going to HR backfired on the employees
Poor management, unqualified to lead and/or supervise people. This is due to the fact that nobody wants these positions due to the complete sacrifice of social life. So the very few people that do apply get the job regardless of qualification, there is NO COMPETITION they are just happy that someone has agreed to the postion. I promise they need you more than you need them.
Just don't waste your time. There are so many better companies out there.
