A tremendous waste of talent and potential - Analytical Scientist Pharmavite LLC Employee Review

When I think of my time at Pharmavite I'm troubled by the fact that it has so many things going for it: great products, interesting and diverse pipeline, and they have talented staff and yet they cannot get qualified & competent R&D leadership. Many of the managers are incompetent when it comes to managing staff, and they should undeniably remain individual contributors. Unfortunately I found that there is no recourse to resolve issues with management as no measures were taken to improve the situation despite many, many, warning signs. It seemed like what Pharmavite management wanted to do was the drive fear into its employees. I worked in a department where they were hiring and firing people every month, like a revolving door. They like to bully people around there. The stress level was high due to a lack of communication, bully mentality of the managers I feel that working for Pharmavite, you have to have no emotions, no say in what is right or wrong. I had come to feel powerless and disrespected working there and they had made sure that the scientist working there felt small and powerless in a large corporation that has multi-million of dollars. Those of us who have worked in businesses like Pharmavite know that there are no emotions, no compassion, no kindness, no love, no consideration. What Pharmavite has shown me is that they don’t really care about people who worked hard to deliver good service for them. There’s lot of anger, frustration, politics, in the air there. And in the end, this energy is transferred to the outside world and personal life.
