Transpharmation Review - werkgeversreview Research Technician bij Transpharmation

Transpharmation has some really great employees that make the work environment better. Management has *started* to appreciate the staff more but that has fallen flat. My supervisor was great, but not even one is as lucky.

There is a huge disconnect between research technicians and management. The pay is incredibly low and regardless of what degree you have (Masters, PhD) you get paid the same poor wages. There is an issue with chronic understaffing and they continue to cut budgets so there is no money to hire more people. And to be fair, most people don’t want to work for barely above minimum wage when they are overqualified. Management tells you there is tons of opportunity for growth but that is far from true, especially if you are an immigrant. Immigrants with PhDs are getting paid the same as those with undergraduate degrees and do not get promotions (I am not an immigrant). Higher ups in the company sit in the office and talk about how dumb the technicians are when we are the ones running the company.

Some colleagues good to work with

Working environment made unnecessarily stressful by upper management, quick to blame you for issues and jump to conclusions. Hard work is not rewarded, favoritism is blatant and is the basis of your progression in the company. Work-life balance non-existent for most, often an expectation to do unpaid overtime. Witnessed staff be sidelined and achievements ignored as a way to subtly alienate them. Particular staff consistently engage in unprofessional, disruptive, and anxiety-inducing ranting about clients and coworkers. Poor handling of mental health issues and lack of concern, care or adjustment for those experiencing difficulties.
