RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Celgene full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Exciting company focused on innovative science with a promising pipeline. The organization is pretty lean so there's opportunity to learn outside of your immediate job responsibilities. Good employee perks such as use of the gym, outside gym reimbursement and free subway pass. Great group of colleagues and a good amount of social events.
Cons
Bad traffic on CambridgePark drive. Not an issue if you take the subway in.
