Pros

The average Joe that works at Perigo are great and this is why I write this review to warn them that by law the company have a duty of care to their employees.

Cons

The Human resources and health and safety department are clueless as how the engineering department is run on nights. 90% of the night shift engineers are car mechanics with no qualification or experience as actual maintenance engineers. They called production support engineers with the responsibility of a real maintenance engineer. This bring us to the duty of care to employees. If a unqualified engineer repairs a machine or parts on that machine and an operator gets hurt, that is not a accident, we class that as manslaughter. I'll put it as simple as I can. "a Car mechanic fix cars, a mechanical maintenance engineer fix machines and a electrical engineer fix electrical equipment."

Pros

Diverse work environment Lots of variety in job requirements Decent wages Great company if you know someone. Nepotism here.

Cons

There is a formal training guideline that was never completed. We didn't even finish signing off after 6 months. This is for a basic entry level type position. It's not even a higher level position. The technical requirements for pharma are pretty complex. I finished my part but the follow through fell short for hands on experience. It wasn't important to train me so I felt like it wasn't important for me to be there. It was frustrating receiving directions from people who started on the same day as me. I feel like it was because of nepotism. Nepotism exists at this company. They weren't meeting their training on time and were giving me direction and providing me with training. Overall, the rewards couldn't justify the physical demands on my body. I felt frustrated and left incomplete as the only team member without family/friends connection in my anywhere. How did i get this job? I'm clueless about that. Didn't take criticism very well. Felt attacked by calls for action. Higher stress manufacturing environment.
