Don't work here

Pros

IT Department was one of the best Noble mission to help children and people suffering from DMD CEO wants to take this company farther (cutting off some of the dead-weight in certain department leadership roles would help)

Cons

Sarepta leadership and management is inexperienced. Likewise, it is not an environment for someone looking to be mentored or fostered. Each day in Cambridge was like listening to a soap opera. Backstabbing is the norm at Sarepta. The Jekyll and Hyde comment by another reviewer was accurate. The departments do not get along as many others have reported. Pharmacovigilance has an especially poor reputation for cycling through people and management is loud but weak. This company takes the tools and skills from those they hire then lets them go. Thus this is a not place to grow a career. In observation, it's every man for himself. There are only a few top dogs. Lower levels will lie, cheat and weasel their way around the office cubicles to pick up gossip, serve up their twist on the facts to advance their careers. Middle management is stacked with self-serving inept "yes" people that know even less than their managers. It's a house of cards waiting to fall. Knowledge is not power at Sarepta; it's a liability.

Cool Technology - Horrible Management

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The technology is really interesting, and all the lower level associates and managers were awesome. They knew their jobs and the technology very well, and worked hard to do a good job.

Cons

Most of the directors and higher were liars, idiots, and loved playing politics over doing a good job and collaborating. One of the directors that came into the Technology Development department didn't even know how to look at data in an excel sheet. We heard horror stories from our managers of VPs and Directors yelling and swearing at people when things went wrong. Overall, very little chance of promotion, or being recognized for good work. HR was powerless.

Overload with work, no resources or leadership.

Pros

Decent Salary. Catered Lunch on Weds/Fri. Free Snacks. Ok Benefits (Stock Options and RSUs)

Cons

Here are a few: - Before I was hired - During the interview process, the hiring manager kept asking who I knew. This was a red flag as this hiring manager was trying to know certain individual names in certain department so he can ask further info about me (the candidate interviewing for this job). This caused some chaos/confusion at my current company before I resigned. I really wished the hiring manager didn't do this as it is not proper. - During the background check, the company wanted me to submit my current paystub and W2 for my pass companies and current. This was very sketchy and is a big red flag to anyone else who may be looking to apply here. - Not enough resources to execute projects successfully. Thus employees are burnt out. - Certain individuals in senior level are not experienced. - Lack of support/teamwork among various department. - Departments do not work together as a team. - No one want to take responsibilities. - No resources to help out with the gigantic amount of workload.
