      Pros

      They had great food, nice facilities, good benefits

      Cons

      This is not a Kite only problem, it's largely a corporate America problem. Too many teams chase solutions to problems that don't exists or don't move the needles in order to justify their job's existence. At Kite things largely went downhill after the acquisition when too much Gilead cash started flowing in, while top leadership was taking jobs elsewhere and whoever was left or appointed had to justify their existence so started running around often doing work that had no real benefit to the company.

      Pros

      - Great benefits including 401K matching, tuition re imbursement, HSA matching, stock/bonus awards, and wellness awards. - Excellent campus with onsite/subsidized food court, gym, volleyball/pickle ball/volley ball court, zoom enables conference rooms, and shuttle service. - Company shutdown in July and December. - Laboratory spaces stocked with new equipment. - Utilizes electronic batch record system instead of paper.

      Cons

      - Poor collaboration between site leadership resulting in distractingly competitive environment focused more on positive optics rather than continuous improvement. - Poor short term and long term planning, often resulting in inconsistent operations schedule and unclear deadlines/objectives.
