Pros

Currently the "old" vwr people

Cons

"Leaders" are bully's, never listen, don't care about people, only care about the image of the company from the outside. Loads of talk about enhancing associate experience and yet cut staff through brutal means, then give them twice the workload, for no extra money. Wasted $6bn on acquiring 2 companies, and that decision maker rides off into the sunset with his payout. Avantor have sucked the life, energy and enjoyment out of, what was VWR.

Pros

starting pay and the ability to work independently.

Cons

There is a significant amount of workplace drama and unprofessional behavior within the team, which can make the environment feel more like a high school setting than a professional workplace. Management appears to have limited understanding of employees' day-to-day responsibilities and is often resistant to feedback or process improvement suggestions. Employees may feel discouraged from raising concerns or proposing changes. Advancement opportunities also seem limited, with promotions and career growth often perceived as being influenced by personal relationships rather than merit. Additionally, the annual performance review process can be frustrating, as employees may feel that the scoring system makes it difficult to achieve the highest ratings and corresponding compensation increases, regardless of performance. Finally, there are concerns about workload distribution, with some leadership positions appearing to have fewer responsibilities than other team members.
