Great company
07/22/2024 - Kingsport, TN
Pros
I have loved my time working in Kingsport with this company. The staff are like family, wonderful benefits and bonuses. Recommend 10/10
Cons
Strict attendance policy as expected
Solid and stable
07/22/2024 - Research Triangle Park, NC
Pros
The company is solid, stable, and risk-averse. This is a great place to get an introduction to biopharma, as the development pace is slow enough to allow questions and learning. The RTP facilities are unique in that all steps of the process are done in-house, so one can get exposure to bench, pilot, and production scales in a single role.
Cons
The factors that lead to stability also create a lot of inertia, so the organization is slow to adopt newer ideas.
Misleading Job Expectations and Rigid Policies
05/19/2025 - Clayton, NC
Pros
Highly-educated staff. Overall friendly people.
Cons
I accepted a position at Grifols based on the understanding that the role offered a hybrid work schedule, with three days in the office and two days from home, as stated during my onsite interview. However, after orientation, I was informed that this was actually a full-time, in-office role, without the flexibility initially promised.Additionally, the company failed to disclose a strict PTO blackout period during the phone and onsite interviews. I only learned after starting that all PTO requests for November-December and July-August would be automatically denied, regardless of personal circumstances.When I raised these concerns during my exit interview, the only response I received was a dismissive "Sorry you feel that way," highlighting a lack of transparency and employee support.Overall, this experience left me feeling misled and undervalued, which ultimately influenced my decision to move on.
