Pros

The leadership team is blissfully unaware of their faults which allows me to justify their incompleteness as well intentioned.

Cons

The research team is basing their science off false assumptions. The research leadership consist of the biggest egotistical narcissist's I've ever encountered which impedes their ability to think clearly regarding science and business strategy. The leadership has never taken a company from inception to commercialization and it shows with every miss step in trial direction and careless communication they take. Juan and Terry act like this is another side project railroading and disempowering the brilliance underneath them with every action and communication. There's a huge misalignment in their actions compared to their communications and the organization is able to see right through their complete lack of self awareness. Those underneath them are completely disempowered and despite trying to communicate the challenges to HR and those who should be able to influence change, the continued messaging is there's nothing that can be done and this is just the way it it. It's incredibly sad as there are some incredible individuals working here, but the organization is definitely being run into the ground from a science and culture perspective.

Pros

Competitive compensation, good benefits, talented colleagues, interesting oncology pipeline, and opportunities to work on complex global clinical trials.

Cons

After a management change, the culture became much more focused on micromanagement and performance metrics. No support from HR or Leadership, and communication and trust declined significantly. Long-tenured employees may find the environment has changed. Run dont walk away!!!!!
