Pros

I felt the work-life balance was good. There were times where it could feel overwhelming and candidates can be rude to you. But if you don't take it personally it's fine. If you're lucky and have a good supervisor, the work is a million times better. I had one decent and one amazing supervisor there and it made all the difference. I felt I had a good amount of power in coming to them with issues or when asking for a raise.

Cons

The company's executive leadership does not seemed concerned with the wellness of their employees. It's a healthcare company, and yet would force their employees to take PTO when they had Covid. They have no sick days, and other benefits were lacking. It felt like leadership structure and policies changed every 3 months. Just basically out of touch.

Pros

Good learning ground (even though you’re just a Chemist, you’re expected to do procurement, planning and everything in between)

Cons

Expected to work overtime on short notice (many times without compensation) Severely understaffed Extremely toxic workplace (publicly announcing any mistakes you’ve made, ostracises you if they deem you’re different from them) Expected to put work before your own health (asked to work during medical leave) Too many “leaders”, no clear person-in-charge (too much work politics)
