Career progression in the Development department feels very limited if you are not one of the chosen few. People are often blamed for their mistakes rather than rewarded for their hard work (which often goes unrecognised), whilst others receive credit for minimal contribution. Staff are often not listened to by senior members of the team, many of whom lack enthusiasm for their role. Most of the lab work is also focused on a single assay so the work can feel repetitive at times, with no clear sense of future company direction.
