Pros

Non nepotism hires are the best coworkers I have had in years and made the year I was here worth the commute.

Cons

- Your benefits offered here can be easily beaten by other companies that have similar product pipelines. - Pay is not competitive at all as they can be easily outpaced by competitors and they expect employees to work 60+ hour work weeks in many departments. - Company is plagued by nepotism hires and most are placed in high up positions that result in a toxic work culture. For example the Quality Control department is being filled at the higher levels with managers unskilled in GMP while the company faces a lawsuit surrounding their BLA for lack of adherence to GMP and other government standards. This is very true in the QC Analytical team with Senior level and Management positions being stacked as a yes men for another Associate Director to try and become a director as his team is more or less justifying the lawsuit currently against the company. - Due to nepotism hires, there is no upward advancement and people who are unqualified for the position they are in result in work being spilled over to those beneath them. Essentially you end up doing the work for a higher position to burn yourself out. - Management does not care about employee well being and mental health as they will wait until things become an “emergency” especially things surrounding the FDA demands when their dwindling workforce becomes burnt out. - Workforce is very small for how large the company is globally (claims to be a startup when it has about 9-10 sites globally). Product pipelines do not match the size of the workforce that is at the company. - Many contract firms will recommend this company as well only to have their pockets lined with cash like Biophase. These result in many skilled people being placed into positions beneath their skill levels only to be dismissed to lack of capital and resources. This results in high turnover and the company pipelines being lacking or unable to meet their own deadlines.

Pros

You can learn a lot from the hands-on experience, and due to the fact, you are made to hit the ground running. You can gain years of knowledge in such a short amount of time.

Cons

Leadership, and a toxic work environment. As long as you keep your head down you will be fine, but the moment you have an opinion that questions someone above you, then you have a target on your back. The average Tenure is about 1.5 years, and the environment is like high-school drama. Executive Leadership needs to step up their game... The toxicity trickles from the top down.

Pros

Great Pay, Decent benefits and ambitious goals.

Cons

Not a Quality based company since merging with NantKwest, cutting corners in GMP and GDP is incentivized by managers. No defined roles for individuals, titles are meaningless since people tasks don't reflect titles. No accountability of departments and most middle management positions held by individuals with little or no science background. Not really a data/fact based company now since NantKwest merger and very little transparency. Poor communication, Managers are never present and have a "no email" policy, which is suspicious. I would not want to be here during an FDA audit.
