Pros

Salary, Benefits, Time of. I enjoyed the projects, my direct manager, and gained a large amount of experience to take with me.

Cons

Since the new "DTO" joined the team a lot of the US talent pool that has been there for years has either left or fired. The service desk and infrastructure team has fallen apart. Huge push for SAP and eCommerce but lost the team to support it. His ideas are on track for growth for the company however leaves the employees treated poorly and under valued. Built the Digital Transformation Center in India with an extremely high turn over rate. Employees show up for interviews not to return to work the next day. Currently favoring large turn over rates in India over US positions.

West Pharmaceutical Services Response

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We’re disappointed to hear your perception of our Digital and Transformation (D&T) team at West. Under the leadership of our new Sr. VP and Chief Digital & Transformation Officer, we have seen a growth in our employee base as well as new skills such as Software Engineers and SAP Solution Architects, enabling us to reduce reliance on consultants and invest in our own population. Also, under his leadership, we have made tremendous progress including the launch of our e-commerce site enabling our customers to order direct from West online. And we have recently opened a Digital Technology Center in India to help build a strong global D&T team which will allow us to augment our US and Europe teams and ensure 24/7 access to West sites worldwide. Regarding turnover, although some attrition is inevitable and natural for any organization, we are proud to say that our global turnover rate is actually below the industry average. It is true we have seen an increase year over year on an annualized basis, however the increase is less than one percent and still below industry average. Change can be challenging, but it is necessary for continued growth and for our journey of digital transformation, which will enable a better digital user experience for our team members, our customers, and ultimately the patients who use our products. Thank you again for your review.

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).

Difficult to progress your title and compensation Company seems to be shrinking their AZ presence Site management is misguided or missing, certainly not focused on employee retention Compensation is low Consistently losing great people and employees that eventually get fed up from working too much without a matching compensation
