Pros

Flexi time, good experience and training. Most staff at shop floor are very nice

Cons

Very obvious clique which management always protect as they are permanent/senior employees, and promotions only occur through social/political hierarchy. People are cherry picked for certain tasks to make them look good, to the point where you can accurately predict most personnel changes the moment the position comes up. If you try to do anything to combat this you just get "blacklisted". I would highly suggest only doing this job to gain experience.

Pros

*Good Work life balance. *Nothing much its like a startup .

Cons

* Leaders don't take criticism, if you retaliate on something they will make it difficult for you to work. * Work is not good, they make programmers do manual data entry QC not having any database as such. * Toxic behavior of supervisors and not even management going to listen. * Poor work techniques , not following any guidelines. * Boss is always right, they follow either my way or highway..

Cult-like culture with constant job uncertainty

Business Outlook

Pros

Formerly Novartis R&D site in Australia a great place to work. Intelligent coworkers, family atmosphere and a passionate group of people.

Cons

Elanco forces it’s culture on every employee. Constant cost-cutting, then re-hiring then cost cutting again. Higher management constantly changing strategies and focus based on American demands, not other countries.
