      Very unprofessional and secretive - Anonymous employee NantKwest Employee Review

      Pros

      Nothing good about the company

      Cons

      Founder of the company is all about making his pockets deeper and deeper. Senior management lacks industrial experience and keeps shooting arrows in the dark in hopes that something will work. Company does not even share information with their employees and keeps them in dark as they fear that their inferior research and knowledge might be stolen. Bias from senior management towards their favorites is highly visible and unfair. Highly recommend to stay away from the company.

      Thanks for your review. All associates are encouraged to contact HR directly or through the anonymous hotline if they have any concerns. We take our associates’ complaints very seriously. We are also actively working to improve communication and transparency. We recently conducted an associate survey throughout the company. All NantKwest associates were able to provide anonymous feedback regarding their manager as well as the work environment.

      Pros

      Company is backed by a CEO who is a billionaire and is willing to invest in the company Building is nice-looking

      Cons

      Extremely disorganized organization There are not enough seats or parking spots for employees Most people are overworked and have difficulty taking time-off Unlimited vacation is an euphemism for no vacation due to amount of work I heard turnover is extremely high and most do not last more than half a year There is no cafeteria on-site and at many times no time for lunch Compensation and benefits are sub-par There is no transparency on decisions, priorities or issues Toxic environment as most people in the organization hate coming to work Billionaire CEO also heads other Nant companies, so his attention to NK is limited I heard "holiday party" food was catered by an In-N-Out food truck. What a joke!

      Thank you for your feedback and it is unfortunate that we missed the mark from your perspective. We are a fast growing company that can feel chaotic at times. We consider your comments constructive and our priority is to make each and every employee has their say about the work environment. But, like any situation we listen to feedback and provide both positive and constructive feedback to Associate and Manager alike. To further illustrate this point we partnered with AON Hewitt to administer an employee survey and shared that feedback at each of our main hubs over the past 45 days. To date we have heard from both Associates and Managers where action plans were developed to address associate concerns. We welcome you to participate and continue to share your feedback.
