"I loved the job because there was something new to learn and study every day. We had the best instruments and technology. My troubleshooting skills were excellent. The one thing I disliked about the job was sometimes long hours and weekend work without management even giving you a thank you."

"Valuable for gaining experience.Great Benefits package (401k, stock options)"

What don't you like about working at Mylan?

"Sink or swim attitudeComplete lack of adequate training programOvertime and weekend work expected but not appreciated.Management has no concern for individual advancement (through promotoion or professional advancement)Management has unrealistic high expectationsand does not recognize the milestones achieved only the unrealistic ones that were not achieved."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"THe model of overworking and underappreciating employees in combination with a poor training and no defined path for career advancement makes Mylan a great place to start a career because of the learning experience. However, the high turnover rate is very high for those who have already not decided to be lifetime employees (due to location). Small changes in the above management structure would make large effects in employee satisfaction."
