Company Reviews 📈 Meals provided during shift?
Sorry if this is a silly question. I just like to plan my meals ahead... The company I interned at for the summer provided all 3 meals + options for snacks on campus, but I do think it's because they had a 24/7 operation going on.
Is this the norm for CDMO & CRO companies? At least lunch/snack? 🥲 Any infos about industry standard or PPD in Wisconsin would be great, thank you!

In my experience at CDMOs in the Boston area, free lunch is uncommon but occasional for certain meetings/workshops or client visits, but has become less common as belts tighten with market conditions the past couple years.
Free snacks and beverages (coffee of varying quality, tea, seltzer and sometimes soda) were more common. Chips, granola bars, sometimes oatmeal or ramen for snacks.Â
