Pros
BeiGene is quite different from any other biotech. It only started in 2010 and so it's crazy to think of everything that's been accomplished in such a short time. The pipeline rivals any big pharma, with 50+ trials for a broad number of potential indications. The mindset of quality is pervasive - it's part of everything and makes the company unique from other companies rooted in China. The work we do really will have an impact on patients so we work hard and one of the things I like most is that, while I'm working harder than I have at any other previous company, my colleagues are working equally as hard and there's a sense of camaraderie, support and understanding. I genuinely like (almost) everyone I work with. It's a good atmosphere, flexible schedule (though my advice is that people need to set their own boundaries and advocate for themselves rather than depend on management to recognize if there's an imbalance). I've found management, HR, the execs, etc., to be supportive and demonstrative of how they value my work and my experience in the industry.
Cons
There are challenges stemming from how fast we are growing. I think that's inevitable and it seems to be being addressed.
