Lack of work, training and care - Medical Writer Word Monster Employee Review

It took 5 months for me to work on my own client brief. During the waiting period I did some practice briefs, but when they ran out I was left to my own devices or given 'business development' tasks. Throughout the entire employment work was very haphazard and writers were made to feel the lack of work was their responsibility. Before I was fired from Word Monster due to 'budget cuts' and 'lack of work', I was signed off for 5 weeks following a very traumatic miscarriage. I had only been back at work for 3 weeks when I received an email stating my job was affected by the market conditions and I was immediately on garden leave. Six weeks after this conversation they are hiring for a senior medical writer. So, I can only assume they either didn't want to put the time into training me up to a more senior level or they were worried about having to pay for maternity leave. Avoid this company, their wellness and life-first facade is laughable once you join.
