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

I cannot think of even one pro to working at Hikma.

Cons

Hikma is run by Jordanians who instill FEAR into their employees. They only want people whom they can control. Keep your mouth shut if you have any concerns or be prepared to be retaliated against i.e. "retaliation" in the guise of "restructuring."
