Pros

Pay is above Cambridge averages. Good culture and lots of potential for career development. Excellent first experience at working for a FTSE 100 company.

Cons

There can be a face-time culture in some areas. Some people are permitted to under perform and no action appears to be taken, this is most clearly present with some IT contractors.

Pros

Great culture and good colleagues, in almost all departments Big campus with lots of exciting things going on and great services and canteens etc. Lots of exciting opportunities both in global functions for the company as well as for local Macclesfield site specific

Cons

Some HR processes are quite lengthy and non-transparent and talent programmes besides any graduate or apprentice programmes are non-existent or just not communicated. I have seen some great talent leave for other companies with more training opportunities. Processes are often unbearably complex and require documentation and written approval for almost everything. However, given that it is a pharmaceutical company it is perhaps called for
