Great company but Devens site is highly political with an extremely negative work culture - Associate Research Scientist Bristol Myers Squibb Employee Review

I’ve worked at BMS for several years now in several sites and several roles. All those roles were very satisfying, and I have had some excellent managers at BMS. When I first started, it was my dream job. After a series of leadership changes, I came to Devens, MA. The organization I joined lacks leadership. Hardworking, high performing employees are passed on for career opportunities and promotions. Several scientists in process sciences who published their science and made significant contributions left the company because they were passed on for promotional opportunities. The analytical sciences organization is a political nightmare, with the leadership expecting us to work like robots. As long as you pander to the agendas of different managers, the quality of work doesn’t matter. Mid level managers hire several contractors and do nothing. Harassment of women is common. There is no concrete leadership goals for the organization. When new employees who join from other companies in director level positions or above, we always anticipate positive changes. Unfortunately, they imbibe the negative culture of the leadership and let their good employees leave as well.
