      Pros

      Mission-driven progressive company division helping patients afford expensive genetically engineered medicines.

      Cons

      Access Solutions does not hire directly, they work through 3rd party staffing agencies for a significant portion of their overall workforce. You are a contract employee. The chances of getting hired on as an FTE are inflated during the hiring process. The staffing agency I worked for offered minimal benefits, no sick time, and the absolute minimum in healthcare as required by law. Working under these conditions with the uncertain hopes of getting hired as an FTE employee was stressful. Hypocritical and ironic that a biotech company inventing cures for critical disease states operates in this manner.

      Too much politics

      Pros

      Great mission for the company and the company makes a lot of strides to improve employee experience.

      Cons

      Social justice initiatives within the company have gotten out of control. Politics has become too much of the conversation. Not appropriate for a corporate environment as we may not all agree with leadership - leads to lack of inclusiveness for those with different political viewpoints.

      Pros

      Father of BioOncology. Created targeted oncology and hematology products that changed the course of the disease.

      Cons

      Will never be DNA again. Massive layoffs of long term highly skilled employees over the past six years (60+%). The departure of early and late-stage researchers has impacted future opportunities. They "don't need people managers." Little to no support from HR for retaliation and bad managers. No exit interviews. No action is taken to protect employees—multiple civil suits.
