Pros
There are SOME nice people. That's about it. There's one, maybe two good managers in the whole company.. unfortunately I had neither. Twice a year you get to finish early for gassing. The experience gave me new appreciation for managers that treat you like a human and companies that value staff, after I left. The bucket/bin/puddle maze every time it rains is kinda fun. They'll claim they're going to fix the roof, but apparently they've been saying that for the last 6+ years.
Cons
In the past week, most negative reviews have been removed.. be careful! ATL is one of 14 companies I have worked for over the years... and is by far the worst! Joining the company and staying for as long as I did is currently my biggest regret. Staff are not valued and are expected to "work like ants." Blame culture, lying and gaslighting are very normal here. Very questionable priorities from team leaders/management/upper management/HR. Overworked, underpaid and under constant stress. You get whiplash from all the changes in direction. For the title: There are very few Pharma/science companies in the area.. so most people relocate to join the company. Once there, you're effectively trapped. Your options are: spend a small fortune relocating again, move to GSK which is usually on temp contract, or stay till you can't stay any longer. Quite a few people leave without another job which says a lot! Honestly the worst company I have ever worked for. I get anxious just thinking about the place and going to Worthing. Life is so much more peaceful and happy since leaving.
