Pros

Decent benefits The in-house convenience store is cool

Cons

This company has no idea how to operate in the US. Hard working employees are constantly met with threats of reduced funding because timelines aren’t being met. The timelines given require a ton of up front investment which Glenmark refuses to accept. Outdated equipment is the standard at this site and corporate will not buy the proper equipment if it costs $1 more than a similar, non-compatible item. Management often ignores valid concerns brought up by employees because they cost money to fix. Contractors and vendors don’t get paid, which hurts business greatly. Corporate often asks what’s taking so long to get ready for production when they’re the ones tying the hands of a perfectly capable team. Communication between departments is a joke and only a few select individuals have a say in what goes on, leading to more downtime and wasted money. Site timelines are created at the drop of a hat and do not actually take into account the amount of time each task takes. Overall the site is trying to take on too much at one time with the wrong equipment and insufficient amount of people and management can’t seem to learn from mistakes. Unprofessional behavior is often rewarded, as long as you’re in the right clique (yes this place is like a high school) No room for advancement for most, but positions are created out of thin air for some people to be promoted. A good chunk of employees are openly actively seeking employment elsewhere

Pros

Free health insurance The company is very ambitious and wants to achieve.

Cons

Decisions are not based on leveraging technical justification Project team from india runs the show, timelines are unreasonable based on headcount. Company is often "penny wise pound foolish" they end up spending alot more money and time later on to try and save a small amount of money The Monroe site is doomed for failure, due to a series of bad decisions; the old leadership team has been replaced by an in effective team who manage up instead of managing down due to their lack of granular understanding of pharmaceutical development process. New team not willing or able to get hands dirty, due to lack of technical knowledge.
