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.

Pros

There are no pros to this company.

Cons

No one has GMP experience, not even Leadership. Pay is terrible. No work/life balance. They want you here for 12+ hours.

Thanks for your feedback. HR has been working closely with the management team at NantKwest to address concerns. It’s very important to balance the priorities of the business with one’s personal life. We encourage associates to work closely with their managers to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Associates can also contact HR directly with their concerns.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We are a fast growing company, and we understand that that can feel chaotic at times. We want to ensure that every associate has their say about the work environment. We are contracting with a vendor to utilize an associate satisfaction survey. This will be an opportunity to get associates’ feedback and respond appropriately to situations such as the ones you mentioned. Please provide honest feedback via the survey so that we are able to address your concerns. Associates are even able to contact HR anonymously through our employee hotline.
