Pros

Salary is ok (nothing amazing though), nice office, flexible work policy

Cons

In controlling, things are pretty straightforward: once you reach Senior level (around three years of experience), that’s usually as far as you’ll go. There aren’t real career paths, and the few management positions tend to go to people through nepotism. Local offices aren’t interested by you either. The glass ceiling is huge. If you’re hoping for opportunities abroad, don’t count on it: it’s the same story of favoritism. Skills and experience don’t matter as much as knowing the right people. And if you do make it to manager, your hourly rate actually ends up lower than senior controllers.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
