Pros

The product, ibrutinib, Imbruvica (there is a 5 word minimum - that I am having a hard time meeting)

Cons

Management leads by fear and manipulation. Unethical pharmaceutical and labor practices. The corporate culture is one of lying and back stabbing. VP level and up are dishonest with their employees, their commercial partner Janssen and the thought leaders they work with. Work demands are impossible to meet and the work that employees accomplish is never good enough. I have 25 years of experience in the biopharma industry and have never experienced such a toxic company.

Pros

Some of my colleagues were wonderful to work with. It's a shame that we all got treated very poorly. The major pro is I'm no longer at "PCYC"

Cons

It's unbelievable the amount of pressure, LONG hours, incompetency of upper management, the approval steps to go through to move forward with a decision, favoritism, the blame game, and cover your behind type of environment and culture this company is. I go home after work and I'm extremely exhausted and feel defeated. Instead of a "thank you" it's "why isn't this done yet?" Maybe it's because you keep throwing buckets of water to the point I'm drowning. When seeking for resources we're told we have enough. My colleagues and I only had each other. The unfairness and favoritism that management shows to particular individuals is bothersome and obvious. It appears that if you're more chit chatty with upper management that you're a favorite versus an individual that actually does the job. I was waiting for my bonus to be paid out, but they changed the date. I couldn't take it anymore so I quit before I got it. It's not worth to feel used and abused, under appreciated, and feel like a hamster in the wheel and never getting anywhere.
