Pros

The benefits are decent and the starting pay is above average for the area. The products impact peoples' lives. It may be valuable experience towards a career elsewhere in pharma.

Cons

If you're not a transplant, your opinion and expertise will mean nothing to upper management. Employees are pushed to take on significant responsibilities and workloads (including supervisory roles) beyond their formal job descriptions. However, titles and salaries lag behind assignments by years, if they are ever updated. You will never receive more than a "Meets Expectations" during your annual review. HR works to protect the company rather than to provide any guidance or assistance to employees - for example, failing to process life events and leaving people uninsured. Once you fall out of favor with upper management, you'll be placed on a PIP only as a paper trail for dismissal. Feudal power struggles within senior management adversely impact team and project performance.

Pros

The only Pro of working at West-ward Pharm.'s is good pay, good benefits. Period.

Cons

This entire Co.'s management is disengaged to the huge problems that are rampant here (at Cherry Hill). The real work horses in each dept. get burned out, tired of no communication, total disregard to Cherry Hill site who's made this Co., yet you won't find an address, or phone number for Cherry Hill on West-ward website ? That's what's wrong! It's Eatontown, Eatontown. It's a dog and pony show. Way too much capital expense on management salaries. Especially Eatontown, who hasn't made a product or a penny for years. You won't find an organizational chart anywhere here at this Co. Everything is "Because we said so", or because they said so. No common sense. You have to see it to actually believe it. Very catty, egotistical hierarchy here. No company culture at all. The end for this Co. will be in a few years after they lose all their talent from key employee's fleeing, and retirements of key personnel in Facilities, and Mfg. Look for both these NJ sites to close in a few yrs. and ops will move to the recently purchased Bedford site in Ohio. Is Ohio in the Pharm. belt ? Last time I looked, it wasn't and again, talent will be the downfall for this Co.

Pros

No pros. Unqualified old Roxane executive culture still in place after buyout. No idea what to do or how to do it. Only cool thing is I'm staying on to witness the collapse.

Cons

Complete incompetence and unwillingness to face failure. Run from the top and in a state of denial after selling the Roxane lemon to West-Ward/Hikma. By September the whole development group will collapse or have to be replaced, and by then the products and filings will be so far behind that an enormous failure will beset Hikma, its stock price and shareholder confidence.
