Pros
Made a transition to research and heard that PPD was the best place to do it. In the beginning the teams were supportive, I felt included, culture was amazing. I got a welcome gift!
Kontras
Now that ThermoFisher has taken over, the culture has gone downhill. It all depends on who your LM is. Everyone talks about flex promotions, but they do not happen unelss you have the right backing. Work life balance is not balanced amongst colleagues. Team work is promoted in theory but everyone is too busy. Some are overworked, others want to work and not given opportunities. I've switched managers 4 times already, and there is just no feeling of loyalty. It seems very dependent on who your team is, how successful you will be and how many opportunities are provided to you.
