Approves of CEOI worked at Celgene full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Good Company overall but it depends on which department and manager you work for . Good pay & benefit.
Cons
-I worked for Celgene over 3 years , its a good company to work for but unfortunately I worked in Corporate Accounting which it runs by Mr. right who surrounded himself with bunch of yes men. There are so much Favoritism, politics , double standard and discrimination especially against older employee in that department. He appointed some incompetent middle managers who don't have the minimum skills to manage and don't even know what they are managing .
- I would say in my career I have not seen a manager as horrible as my former manager. She micromanaged and wants to control everythingAdvice to Management
- Implement (Our Culture) 4 circles policy that you talked about it and distributed
to your employee ( Vision, Values, Behaviors, & purpose) especially the
behaviors bullets points which it was not followed in that department.
- If you want to appoint or hire middle managers with 0 experience, send them to
some training to reflect Celgene values.-
- Open the door for feedback from the employee about their managers.
-Terrible leadership leading to a awful and toxic culture in our departmentCelgene 2017-07-31 08:34 PDT![Celgene Logo]()

Pros
Great to work with quality focused, truly patient-centric organizations... from early development to global clinical research to medical affairs. Transformational mid- management and senior leaders are emerging and in place.
Cons
Research, science and medical is central to Celgene, our patients deserve our best. Some are losing focus...
Advice to Management
Heed advise and counsel of your management with clinical - scientific research experience. Celgene should not be MBA types proving ground.

Doesn't RecommendI have been working at Celgene full-time
Pros
Overall, great company, competitive salaries and benefits.
Cons
Specific to the department I work in (Legal) - very poor management; little to no guidance. Very fractured department and management isn't interested in doing what needs to be done to fix it.
Advice to Management
Hire upper management who isn't afraid to manage - who rewards those who work hard and have a good work ethic while holding those who don't accountable.

Pros
Minimal bureaucracy for a company of its size and rapid growth. Nice people. Good work-life balance. Real faith in and practice of the company values.
Cons
Wish we had an office closer to NYC, but really, this is a small point.
Advice to Management
Don't let our flexible, get-things-done culture erode with our rapid growth.
