Pros

The people in my department are great to work with.

Cons

Allergy Therapeutics is an innovative company looking to better the lives of its customers and patients, but at the expense of their employee's wellbeing. My time here has been traumatic to say the least. Started off alright but quickly could sense that all was not right! Colleagues stressed, management poor and some had no idea what they were doing, inconsistent expectations with benchmarks changing every single day, overworked, underpaid, employing all these new people in fancy positions yet some deserved employees can't get a promotion. Overcomplicated systems, poor and confusing documentation, telling everyone to turn their NHS Track & Trace apps off at work at the height of the pandemic as whole departments had to be sent home (their reason was because the app does not know what precautions were put in place, the building was overpopulated and too small anyway, social distancing impossible, coronavirus breeding ground). Stagnant managers who have been round far too long, no parking, tiny tearoom, mess and paperwork left everywhere, little room for progression, jobsworths, no fun, no enjoyment, good luck if you are physically disabled and want a job there the only access to offices is by using an industrial lift, high staff turnover, lack of training, GMP optional on some days, pushing boundaries as much as possible to avoid non conformances. But its ok, the company sent everyone working from home a KitKat and a teabag and everyone at work got a free ice cream to make us take a break for our mental health. I spent my additional 15 minute break searching for new jobs which did my mental health a lot of good as I got a new job and handed in my notice yesterday!

Pros

-Free coffee -Clean toilets -Overtime on demand -Roof rarely leaks -Good goal and and right spirit of making aluminium free vaccines available for patients - HR is chill and helpful - Young staff

Cons

- Furniture management (unwilling to change and approve changes) - lower management usually has no clue what is happening and how to fix issues - decision making is extremely slow as production will start at 07:00 or even 06:00 but management starts work around 09:00-10:00 - cross-department cooperation is horrendous. QC will leave for break when production staff are actively waiting downstairs for a phone call to continue with the batch -Equipment is old and is regularly cannibalised to keep other bits of equipment going -Production and support management is unaware of the ongoings within production. -Planning regularly sets impossible deadlines as they also have no clue about how long processes take and then blame production for not meeting the deadlines even thought they are advised that it cannot be done. - Head of QA is also on the board. It is legal as he is a “contractor” however still a massive conflict of interest and unethical in my opinion - Production staff constantly pressured to do overtime due to miscommunication issues upstairs - Office staff never set foot in production areas but somehow write our regulatory documents without knowing the process - Poor employee satisfaction - Bad work - life balance - Processes are outdated and no plan to remedy them soon
