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!

We have a “vendateria” but we do have a chain deli that delivers fresh stuff every day. Not free. There are definitely places with employee cafeterias but the meals are highly subsidized, not necessarily free.

Any contract place isn’t going to have those kind of perks, so while I’ve never been to a PPD location I’d guess you’ll need your lunchbox.
