Pros

Good for people who are happy to push papers. Light unchallenging work load.

Cons

Lack of training, inconsistent grading (favoritism), work isn’t assigned with any thought to career growth or appropriately based on skills, managers appear to be lifers who have seem to have no training to be managers, at least good managers — it appears that friends protect friends regardless of merit. An “old Sanofi club” akin to an old boys network. The result is junior people don’t really learn and there’s little exposure to latest practices. Little support getting training externally. Even if the cost is meager. Comp and benefits severely lag behind the market and company doesn’t even provide yearly COL raise. You could be stuck at the salary you entered at for years and years.

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!
