    What’s it like working at Biocon?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Biocon stands out for its excellent compensation packages including competitive salaries, bonuses, and comprehensive benefits such as free meals and gym access. The company provides valuable learning opportunities in the biotechnology sector, particularly beneficial for those in Malaysia where such opportunities are scarce. Employees appreciate the supportive colleague network and the exposure to advanced biotechnology and international compliance standards.

    However, employees face certain challenges including difficulty maintaining work-life balance due to extended hours and occasional work during off days. The management structure is heavily influenced by the Indian headquarters, which can impact local decision-making. Additionally, there are concerns about work planning with frequent last-minute tasks, and some employees note that career progression opportunities could be improved, particularly for local talent.

    Good place to start your career, but consider moving forward when you’re ready for the next step
    The good thingsProvide good benefits like free lunch, lots of events/programs for employee to join, employee need follow strict SOP.
    The challengesMany long-serving staff tend to display a superior attitude, which make collaboration difficult. Fast pace working environment and tight project timelines, however, often get delayed due to improper planning by management. Certain colleagues could create a stressful atmosphere which affect overall team harmony and morale. The HOD will brainstorm people that company is performing well, but everyone shall get more exposure within the broader pharmaceutical industry.

    Job growth is limited
    The good things- Salary is above average. - Incredible platform for Malaysian young talents to join advanced biotech industry as the opportunity here is extremely scarce.
    The challenges- The middle and top management are mainly Indian expats. Management needs to consider developing local talent pool to increase attrition rate and ensure sustainable growth. - For R&D personnel, you may need to brace for working beyond office hours.
