Dislikes

1. TFG - Heavy cost-cutting. Clearly visible in various aspects 2. Sandoz division spin-off 3. Too much hiring from some orgs (ZS, IQVIA). People from those places bring & spread their toxic servicing client mentality (especially for IQVIA). Eventually this led to some sort of micro-management. 4. No free food. Paid food is overpriced and has no taste No cab for regular shift people. 5. SNOW - pathetic project creation tool. 6. Productivity goes for a toss as there are so many formalities 7. Promotion can be biased. have seen people climbing the ladder by organizing events.

Dislikes

... even bother to look after employee complains. absolutely extinct department. 7. managers will call personally and ask employees to work on saturday and sundays without any extra pay. 8. they retaliate against external/ contractual employee if not listening to them. 9. raising against management with valid issues is not taken seriously. Overall -SCM is the worst department to work.
