Pros

Great community service activities, "at work" benefits, and advancement opportunity. Friendly and approachable senior management. Emphasize training programs and on-job training.

Cons

Archaic vacation policy, had 3 weeks in addition to holidays at my old job, had to move to 2 when transfering to West. In negotiating 3 weeks, they didn't seem to want to budge at all, which was somewhat disuading.

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).
