Dynamic team for drug discovery and development - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) RxCelerate

Opportunity to gain exposure to different projects.

Pay is below industry standard. Flexible working is limited; the leadership emphasizes physical presence over trust in employees. Long hours and overworking are common. Senior management communication is very poor. Frequent “urgent” requests often result from management disorganization rather than genuine urgency. Leadership involvement can disrupt project progress due to lack of expertise in certain areas. Stress levels are high across most roles due to unclear direction and communication issues. Client information is often poorly cascaded, leading to inefficiencies. Wellbeing initiatives exist in name but are not actively supported.

People are friendly and there is always someone willing to advise/assist with queries. Easy to get along with and welcoming. The variety of work was interesting and allowed for a good insight of what projects are going on, with plenty of opportunities to participate and learn.

Internal communication was not as strong as it could have been. There always seemed to be pieces of information that were not being passed down from the management to the team, which in turn did lead to a lot of frustration and overall morale being rather low. When issues and concerns were raised, it was always "in the works", which is fine and understandably things take time and cannot happen overnight, especially with the company growing. However, nothing ever really seemed to materialise and when pressed for any updates, it was just "in the works". There was also a distinct lack of personal responsibility. When something went wrong there seemed to be a culture of trying to pass the blame around, rather than just owning it and moving on from past errors.
