Great work atmosphere, everyone was so willing to teach you new things and a great team environment
Cons
as an intern they don't have a lot of tasks prepared for interns. if you get full time, you're hired as a contract employee paid hourly rather than salaried
Advice to Management
prep more work throughout the year for interns

Pros
Great benefits and salary and the people seem friendly AT FIRST!
Cons
You have to put up with long term managers that have no idea what they are doing. Senior management in Human Resources is awful. They are a bunch of silly, over paid buffoons!
Advice to Management
Get rid of your old wood or your ship will sink eventually. The company is growing too fast to have ineffective managers at the helm!

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.
