      Good communication but unpredictable workload

      Biotechnologist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Organized workflow between teams and good emphasis on communication and open discussion. Errors and mistakes are addressed from a problem solving perspective, not with blaming.

      Cons

      Workload can be unpredictable, although management tries to avoid production overtime whenever possible

      Blame culture and ineffective feedback processes

      Pros

      Nothing. You get paid on time.

      Cons

      Despite being here for almost two years, any feedback I made since I first joined has barely been implemented or improved on. They love waiting until someone makes a mistake before implementing changes. Not that the CAPAs they suggest really help. Most mistakes were already pointed out as high risk before the mistake was made. Still have issues half heartedly translating the system and documents used. When operator makes mistake due to translation issues or worse, lack of translations, middle management love blaming operator. Their favourite thing to say : "XX(non chinese local staff) can recognize at least 6 chinese characters, why can't you remember these 2 simple ones? Can't you see these 2 set of words are different? If you really can't tell just use Google translate." In summary: they love to blame you for your mistakes and suggest corrective actions that only create more work for already overworked staff. Even overheard the supervisor recently ask why can't locals just learn Chinese instead.
