Pros

Good team, generally friendly and helpful

Cons

Can lead you on, sometimes tell what you want to hear rather than the truth. Led by Orion's decisions always prioritizes Orion's work first, if Orion says jump, Connetics asks how high? does what Orion tells them regardless of consequences. Supposed to be independent of Orion (Connetics is a wholly owned subsidiary of Orion) but not independent in any way. Silo mentality hasn't improved due to the same people essentially in the same roles. Poor internal communication. A lot is expected from you for little benefit (poor work/life balance). Culture & values publicised internally, but only adhered to by management when it suits them.

Pros

Nothing worthy of mentioning here.

Cons

Working as a project manager at Connetics was one of the most disappointing career experiences I’ve had. The senior leadership team is severely out of its depth — decision-making is slow, disconnected from operational realities, and often contradictory. Managers appear more concerned with protecting their own image than with enabling projects to succeed, leading to a culture of blame-shifting rather than problem-solving. Human Resources operates as a bureaucratic obstacle course, enforcing needless administrative requirements that add no value and actively slow down work. Instead of supporting employees, HR seems fixated on ticking boxes and defending poor internal processes. The workplace culture is dysfunctional: meetings drag on with little action, innovative suggestions are dismissed without serious consideration, and risk-averse thinking stifles progress. Despite being in a technical field, the organisation seems allergic to efficiency and resistant to learning from mistakes. If you are a competent professional expecting to work in a supportive, forward-thinking environment, you will find Connetics incredibly frustrating. The talent and dedication of some individual employees are overshadowed by a management and leadership structure that fundamentally fails to deliver.
