Crap unless your FDP

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Paycheck, Casual in some parts of company, health and retirement benefits

Cons

"Rules" for traditional employees don't apply to FDP. People with decades of experience and master degrees are by passed for kids with two years of rotation experience in company, that is only accessible with the right connections and from the same three universities. No diversity in universities or backgrounds. Privilege helping privilege. Traditional employees are told those individuals are "exception", but 10 out of 10 times it's not true. W So kids with minimal experience, big egos and a safety net of gold...what do you end up with, incompetent entitled leaders who destroy the work life balance of those below them to the point of modern slavery (70-80+ hr work weeks, expect to answer emails 1 am) to ensure their image and place on the totem remains intact. How else does someone with no experience, minimal time put in, and minimal education make sure they are secure...by standing on the backs of those below them. Putting in time and effort to prove performance only applies to those with traditional career upbringings.

Long Hours and Oldschool Culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and bonus structure

Cons

Long hours with no respite. Weekend work is expected. Little opportunity to actually use vacation. Little diversity. Culture has not kept up with the times (work from home is discouraged and employees are being told to return to work during a pandemic). Employees on the coasts move on but employees at the park (home office) are forced to stay because there is very little pharma in the Chicago area. The result is many employees with over 25 years who don’t want change and many incompetent managers.

Unprofessional

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, pay are good. Many colleagues are friendly and collaborative - lacking the ego and internal competitiveness present at some other companies.

Cons

Management practices are outdated. At StemCentrx, gossiping, bullying, intimidation, and generally unprofessional behaviors are common among the senior leadership. Unethical.
