Pros

Came across hard working people.

Cons

Poor management. Lack of direction, communication, knowledge, attention to details. No accountability. People at the management level has no managerial skill set, not enough technical knowledge, not enough compliance knowledge. Like many reviews said, there are people at the top, just because they have been with the company for a long time. When things don't go right, they blame the workers to cover themselves. And you have new people (management) who constantly compare this place to another giant pharma, yet has zero knowledge to lead, quick to blame others, inappropriately holding others accountable for their lack of ability. very sad. Stay away from this place. if you work hard, you are expected to work even harder and get blamed if things go wrong. Poor planning, poor communication, poor compliance, poor management. Sorry for the people who still works there.
