As per my experience with APL, it provide good salary and maintained standard at work area. Specially during corona wave, company provide free vaccination and special allowances. i would like to work in APL if i got an opportunity. But skill development/ learning programs not conducting manufacturing site due to work load. Alart from that APL is good platform for pharma employees. I love APL.
