Avis sur KBI Biopharma

Avantages

Pay can be higher than average depending on hiring manager and timing

Inconvénients

Awful culture leading to unclear outcomes, unethical handling of client material, and poor work-life balance. High turnover without any training plans means new hires are stuck hoping things are slow enough to learn while being shoved into situations they've had no preparation for. Promotion ceiling without a PhD comes up quick. Outside experience is valued above internal experience. PTO offered isn't worth anything... if schedules leave no time to take it.

Conseils à la direction

Instead of offering lip-service or ignoring problems, work on actually fixing the problems before the heat death of the universe.

Avantages

work-life balance is the only pro I can come up with

Inconvénients

if you have a brain, run! literally anybody can do this job.

Avantages

- above average pay - good place to start right out of school - fast paced, always on your feet, you will learn a lot - if you are in a good group, it can be a great experience and very rewarding

Inconvénients

- if you aren't in a good group, or if your manager sucks, it can be awful - facility is poorly maintained and they do not invest in it - no paternity leave and otherwise average benefits - a lot of the day-to-day lifestyle things like your workspace and parking are poor

Conseils à la direction

- reinvest some profits into improving the durham facility otherwise relocate - more space is a necessity and this has been largely ignored - reward managers whose employees are thriving and remediate managers whose employees are miserable

Avantages

You are over paid which only makes it more difficult to leave

Inconvénients

Lack of understanding of any industry regulations and even greater lack of desire to follow them. Decision makers couldn’t spell “CFR” if you spotted them the “C” and the “F”. That is exactly what this place is. A huge CF! Facility is unfit for use and it is a daily occurrence to see raw materials stored in hallways and left outside on loading dock. Work space is over crowded with several individuals crammed... into every closet and corner of the building. Employees are forced to park in grass, dirt and gravel as the parking is inadequate for the facility. The facility is maintained on a shoestring budget and it shows.

Conseils à la direction

Stop kidding yourselves. Listen to what your employees are saying and what your partners are telling you! Stop glad handing and promoting each other and get a clue.
