Pros

Great Pay, Benefits and beautiful Building. Also great co-workers below current Senior Leaders.

Cons

Extremely rude senior leaders being brought onboard. Hopefully you don't have a position in this company where you have to present in front of any of these new leaders or they will "mock" and "degrade" for no other reason than to prove their "authority" over you. Always chatter in office on the unbelievable things said to others in meetings...particularly men towards women.

West Pharmaceutical Services Response

Thank you for taking the time to post this review. We are very disappointed to learn of your perception of our senior leadership. West is committed to creating and maintaining a workplace and culture where all team members feel respected, are treated fairly and have an opportunity to excel. Disrespectful, unprofessional or harassing behavior is not acceptable nor tolerated. We strongly encourage any team member who feels this is not the way we are operating to immediately reach out to any member of leadership, Human Resources or the Compliance and Ethics Office to share their concerns. All team members also have access to the Integrity Helpline where they can report their concerns anonymously if they choose. We take the on-boarding of new team members extremely seriously and are committed to providing equal opportunities and selecting the best candidate for a role, from internal and external applicants. We have an average of 300 internal moves/promotions annually since 2018. We feel this is a good balance with those hired from outside the company, as new talent joining West also brings new perspectives and experiences to West.

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).
