Pros
Impressive scientific effort in advancing cures for cancer. Are able to quickly advance regulatory filings to get approvals in record time. Stock is doing well. Lots of free food. Have free yoga classes on site.
Cons
If you have experience working at other biopharma companies, you`ll be disappointed with the antiquated, inadequate, poorly thought out systems, operations and culture the company has in place. The majority of the staff seem to have not worked at other biopharma companies; most seem to have been here for 20 years. There`s a culture similar to that of a good-ol'-boy organization in certain departments. Middle management seems to have little training in how to be good leaders, how not to be micromanagers or how to treat people with respect. There seems to be a general lack of awareness and often knowledge of industry standards and regulatory expectations. These inadequacy's make it doubly difficult for newly hired, highly experienced staff.
