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.

Pros

I did think about this and the pros are we get free snacks in the kitchens. A sad pro, but I could not come how with anything else. Oh, free parking too!

Cons

How much can I write? After being in the industry for 15 years plus, I have never seen such a train wreck. I have been here for two years and it feels like 20. They work you so much and there is never a promotion. There is never a thank you. Stock equity is almost nonexistent at this point. The next few years will be tough because our pipeline has nothing coming out. They also fire and lay off people all the time. You never know if you will come in one day and have a meeting with HR that you are blindsided by. The whole place is really working like a bad startup with a founder that wants to continue being CEO and has nothing new to offer. His wife is running the company because she is at every town hall and major event. She is not even an official employee of the company, but sits in all these meetings. Something is wrong with that. There is zero culture. I kept hoping this would change, but I gave up.
