Great Company/Leadership Team - Anonymous employee Erytech Pharma Employee Review

Erytech is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative red blood cell-based therapeutics for patients with severe unmet medical needs, particularly in the field of cancer. Everyone who works at the company is dedicated to caring for patients, even if they work in a corporate role. There is a strong community of friendly and caring employees. It is a flat organization with only 6 levels so it's easy to speak with senior leaders, including the CEO. The company offers a very competitive benefits package comparable with big pharmas. There is a 90/10 employer/employee cost sharing on excellent insurance plans so they options are affordable and offer great coverage. Because Erytech is a French company, the time-off benefits are exceptional and far better than anywhere else that I have worked. Every employee gets 22 days of PTO and 6 Floating Holidays for a total of 28 days of paid time off! Erytech offers a 3% contribution to the 401k and annual stock option grants for all employees.

The company is waiting Phase 3 Clinical Trial results read-out so it's a bit of uncertainty presently until that data is published.

Decent pay for an entry level job My coworkers were what made it tolerable

Where do I even begin? HR there is a joke. When HR sent me my onboarding paperwork, they sent me a former employees filled out tax form. HR also does not do their job and never shows up, and when you go to them to report inappropriate behavior that you witnessed from management, they will talk about you to management. Management there is extremely incompetent throughout all the departments. One department has TWO managers who are useless, doing the job of one. You will pretty much have to do your manager's job for them while they get all the credit for it. Management also is very unprofessional and some have behavior issues and will take it out on their employees. If you are not willing to sacrifice your personal life to work all types of odd hours, weekends, and holidays, then this is not the place for you. Management will deny your PTO and make it difficult for you to take any time off, then will ask you why you're requesting time off. There are no career development opportunities. Management prefers to hire externally, than promote from within.
