Avantages
Well organised and structured as expected for a GMP facility. Sophisticated systems in place to track and deal with client projects.
Inconvénients
Where to start, as a new hire I came in expecting some semblance of training and an interest in my development. You are made to sit around for months wondering your purpose with not much / no guidance. At the very least assign someone to train up the new hire. And when work is given on occasion it is expected that you should know everything and perform these duties correctly without the proper training. Any mistake made no matter how small will be penalised with no real explanation as to the mechanisms behind it, this perpetuates the problem as without the knowledge to get it correct next time around the problem will repeat itself. I also knew the Salary would be low and rightfully so as I am an intern, this was not a concern for me as I came here to learn but I feel like I'm sitting around wasting my time and the companies. Of course it will take time to trust a new hire with the equipment and various GMP procedures but it is at the very least efficient to have a plan in place to prepare and train up the new hire so that they don't sit around clueless. I'm pretty sure training will not cost much and will be useful when work starts to come in.
