Pros
The work done at BMS meaningful. Saving patient lives is the best part of working there.
Cons
The industry nickname for BMS is Disney Land. If you want to fast track your career by 10 years, BMS will hire you as a senior leader. This is due to significant amount of inexperienced leaders hiring inexperienced individuals. I have never seen so many directors, SD, ED in my 20 year career. Of all the companies out there involved in CAR T they are the most disorganized. Site level leadership operate at the levels of supervisors and managers but carry around big titles. There is zero strategy and thoughtfulness behind decision making. Unfortunately the senior level are where the biggest problems lay. You can literally look these “leaders” up on LinkedIn and clearly see they are not fit for such high level roles. There are AD, directors, SD, and ED who were managers 1-3 years ago and now lead teams of hundreds overnight without the qualifications to do so. It is baffling how such a critical life saving drug is being ran this way. BMS has a history of restructuring and layoffs and I’m sure at some point senior global leadership will catch on and rectify this.
