Prós
-The actual teams of non-management employees were amazing people, if overworked and obviously stressed. -Good pay and benefits -Lots of good experience
Contras
-Management, especially at the C-Suite level, was a mess. In Life Sciences specifically leadership was terrible during my tenure. Constant infighting that spilled downwards. While there were some exceptions (The heads of Quality and Sales/Marketing were nice, as was the former Director) on the whole management is toxic. -No sense of where the company is going. People laid off clearly to protect the bottom line with no respect for their years of loyalty. -The Mothership of RWS in England barely showed any interest in the Life Sciences division, and never helped. -Sterile and unfriendly work environment. People would stick to their cliques in their teams, but rarely ventured beyond that.
