AVOID DMPK!!!! Amazing company though!!! - Associate Scientist Arcus Biosciences Employee Review

Pros

I loved working at Arcus. Arcus is the perfect company to work for, and all teams in the research department are amazing at their jobs, except for certain people in the DMPK team.

Cons

DMPK specifically changed to a mass spec engineer from Portland (3-5 business days for repairing the issue) instead of a local mass spec engineer from San Leandro (only 1 day for repair) to intentionally delay the data of everyone in research. The DMPK team here is supposed to be a SUPPORT group, but certain people in DMPK act like a Starbucks inside a Target pretending to be Corporate Target. Love everyone else though!!

Business Outlook

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!!!!!
