Pros

Great benefits especially the 401K plan

Cons

Lack of advancement and career growth. Promotions are instituted not merit based. Your employees help you to get to where you are today. Only promoting leaders as if they did the work leads to dissatisfaction . The negative reviews on here are true.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and your concern about who receives promotions. We work hard to ensure that our benefits and rewards are comprehensive, and that all individuals can advance based on exceptional contributions, merit, and values. In the past three years, 45 people have been promoted (on an average headcount of 145) and 95% of those promotions were for people below the VP level. We also implemented a recognition tool that has significantly increased companywide recognition. If you’d like to discuss your ideas with a member of the leadership team, please reach out to any one of us.

Pros

Not only amazing science, but also really special people. The culture is very people-centric, inclusive, and light-hearted.

Cons

A bit of turmoil since being acquired by Gilead, but the alumni of Arcellx will all go on to do more great things, I have no doubt.
