Pros

There are some employees there who actually care about their work. Most however, just want to see the end of the week. Good product portfolio. Good location (Plainsboro, NJ). Bagels on Fridays.

Cons

Atrocious management! Especially anything not related to production or sale of finished goods. Everything is political; so jf you aren't aligned with the right manager - watch your back! No one is safe! Employees are not valued. They are still operating on 1980's technology and don't know how to modernize. They don't know how to manage projects - and management doesn't provide necessary guidance or support to effect change. 200+ CAPAs per year are not out of the ordinary and their only solution to technical problems or an OOS is to write a justification or slap on another QA protocol. If you're wondering who's going to be the next scape goat, its probably you! Let's just blame the last guy who was let go. Nothing ever gets fixed!

Pros

To provide a balanced perspective, one positive aspect was the company's willingness to offer flexible work arrangements.

Cons

I would encourage prospective employees to carefully evaluate the company culture before joining. In my experience, the work environment lacked the level of professionalism and collaborative leadership I expected. Leadership decisions at the senior level often appeared to be driven by personal viewpoints rather than objective discussion and open engagement. Employees who did not align with the preferred direction could experience resistance rather than constructive dialogue. The culture felt more aligned with a "my way or the highway" management style than a collaborative and inclusive approach. I also experienced situations where information communicated about my performance appeared inconsistent with my actual work contributions and outcomes. Rather than constructive feedback supported by objective metrics and open discussion, I felt there were instances where narratives surrounding performance were inaccurate or misrepresented. This created concerns regarding transparency, accountability, and the overall feedback process. The company has also faced regulatory challenges in the past, which may be worth researching independently as part of your due diligence process. My experience ultimately did not align with my expectations for leadership, transparency, and organizational culture.
