Pros

Improving and developing pharma company with quality products, employee benefits, salaries and workplaces.

Cons

No structured training programme whatsover. Bearing in mind I joined with no pharma experience whatsoever you would expect the world's 5th largest pharmaceutical company (a £5b company) to have a formal training programme in place. There was a 2 week meet and greet 'on-boarding' schedule put in place by a colleague (rather than by HR dept which seems to be more of a traditional personnel / admin function...just with more aspiration but less substance) and that was it. After that (albeit with great support from some close colleagues who did their best to assist) I was left to my own devices with a £10m target and responsibility for 3 of the world's biggest pharmaceutical and consumer giants...with NO EXPERIENCE!

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.
