Pros

Great Benefits Good hours Employee welfare is taken seriously

Cons

The hardest part is the bureaucracy. Things move very slowly and due to the size of the company, work feels very detached. Work can be repetitive and mundane depending on the position.

Pros

Benefits and salary are pretty good. Full medical and dental coverage, three weeks vacation + 1 week for christmas. Colleagues are great ans the team spirit is good.

Cons

Management is not quality oriented. Projects are not planned well and always deployed in a rush. We are not given the time to plan and analyse the impact and risk associated to change and modifications in the plant. Problems occur following the implementation of projects and the team members are held responsible. Management does not take responsibility in the lack of control over operations and engineering activities.

Pros

This is a very well structured company affiliated with Novartis. Nice life-work balance. The employees want the company to succeed and try hard within the structure to work at improving the quality. It has been able to acheive satisfactory status with FDA.

Cons

Roles and responsabilities within teams are not well defined. Management collaboration is not always attained. Objectives and evaluation system should be more aligned. There has been multiple issues, it almost seems that there is a black cloud following the company's progress. Two steps forward, one step sideways, one step back is how I would define its progress. Productivity is down, and quality requirements has been increased. It creates lot rejections, and customer back orders.
