Pros

Some benefits are acceptable, other than that... nothing.

Cons

If you are a minority, this is not your place. They only care about women (and limited care). It's a company full of white dudes and if you are not a white dude they will discriminate you with no hesitation. No matter how much they say that you should bring "your unique self" to your job, I can tell you that it's all a lie. Disgusting and awful place.

West Pharmaceutical Services Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very disappointed to learn of your perception of discrimination at West. 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 or discriminatory behaviour 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.

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).

Cons

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
