Patheon2019-11-01"Great place for experience, hardworking staff, old-fashioned and poor leadership"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Patheon
Pros
Great for experience and interesting due to high customer portfolio. Some helpful and caring people. Big network globally - large talent pool.
Cons
Staff are generally overworked and the compensation is not where it should be. Training is not something the company invests on. Talk of career progression is just a load of garbage - never happens.
Advice to Management
Update your leadership style. Value your staff! Energize and appreciate them!

Pros
Decent base salary and benefits, good exposure to pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Good starting job right out of college. Broad, expansive opportunities within Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Poor management, poor processes, long hours, older site and offices. No groups like to take responsibility and very political. No recognition and sense of urgency always to rush everything through schedule. High turnover. Continuous, repeated issues on floor due to equipment and operator error.
