Pros

Some colleagues are nice and supporting.

Cons

There is no stability. They have been laying off people for the last 3 years at least once a year so you never know when your turn might be and it creates a bad environment. It’s a sinking boat because of how poorly managed the company is and how they keep trying to squeeze out as much as profit while giving nothing to employees. The salaries do not increase, they even decrease. The % increase after a salary review is basically a joke. Not only that but promotions are lower than inflation, only around 1% more than a yearly salary review which is insulting. They will tell you there is no money, however, a new company will be acquired and you will be left wondering where the money came from - yes, from not paying employees the market value and no bonuses. The excuse used is always that the company has not achieved its targets. These are ridiculous and unachievable financial goals but somehow they manage to acquire companies right and left. Senior management is out of touch from reality. After laying off a big percentage of people, they hired a chief people officer as if that was solve anything. The best employees quit and if you don’t you might get fired at the next season of layoffs which leads the a very toxic environment.

Pros

Prime Global provides a great work environment and outstanding culture that empowers its employees to do their best work. The strong team culture of shared success and shared accountability is a huge asset to the company, and its no accident. Management truly believes in this vision and works hard to make it a reality.

Cons

Alongside the great environment and great people comes high expectations for work quality and accountability. If you are up to the challenge and are committed to working at the highest levels of the medical communications field then Prime Global should be at the top of your list.

Pros

I cannot think of anything

Cons

Horrendous management by team leads, blame game and have no guts to own their mistakes; senior writers have no acumen to interpret results appropriately from scientific data; cannot even give proper brief or client specifications to new writers; below average UK work team and they are bullies; extreme discrimination towards US employees; very hostile ambience that induces unnecessary stress and team members are very error prone. I can go on and on and on....... you take up a writer position here, you are entering a high pressure ambience. The team I was in, freelancers used to give senior feedback as their own senior writers did not have the ability to provide a good feedback. Anything difficult is handed over to freelancers. I really do not know how the client is giving them contract. Once I had this great opportunity to take over some senior writer authored manuscript. God, it was B...S..., the references were wrong for each line in the introduction, methods were missing and results section was literally 3/4 th of a page! One of the reviewers trashed their work saying the citations were completely wrong for pretty much every line of the introduction. I wonder why the client has not fired them! Please clients and potential employees consider all the reviews posted, everyone leaving their feedback on this forum cannot be biased!

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspectives. It is disappointing to learn of the negative experience you had during your time with our organisation. We have a broad support network in place for our team with a number of options outside of their line manager who can provide guidance and support for any challenges our team members do not feel comfortable discussing directly with line managers. We genuinely value all input as it helps us grow as a company and wish you well with your future career. Kindest regards from our team at Prime
