Pros

Nice HQ bathrooms a.and that is all I can say for pros.

Cons

Old boys club. People in positions based on who they know and how they kiss up. Rampant vinctive, abusive, harassment for those that offer differing opinion. Highly micro managed and lots of back stabbing and maneuvering to advance over others. Anything to look good. Horrible management. Clueless boys club

Pros

• Interview process was personal, thoughtful, and conversational — I always felt like a human being, not an application. • Leadership and Talent Acquisition were transparent and respectful throughout. • The people here genuinely care about the work and one another. • Many employees have been with West for 15, 20, even 30+ years, which speaks volumes about culture and stability. • Work is meaningful — West designs and manufactures drug containment and delivery systems that help medications reach patients safely. • Onboarding has been organized and welcoming, with support at every step.

Cons

Systems and digital tools are in transition (which is normal for a growing organization).
