Arena Pharmaceuticals Reviews

It feels like we've been in a massive limbo since the acquisition was announced last year. Now that we are under Pfizer, it's just pure chaos. Senior leadership disappeared immediately, more junior staff took over but they're not providing any leadership. Pfizer tagged buddies for teams but they're unhelpful, absent and not aligned. No one took their place. Everyone is receiving conflicting instructions, roles and responsibilities are changing on a whim, communication is painful and unclear. Alot of management has checked out and it feels like they're just hoping everyone will quit to avoid severance. Before the acquisition we were promised things would be better, but the acquisition just froze bad processes and toxic people in place. Everyone seems to be making it up as they go and there is alot of handballing. Being on limbo makes it so hard to plan life around work. We've lost the benefit of our flexible culture. It also feels like many of the staff will be let go in winter and miss the benefit of the good job market. This place is a hot mess and it's very hard to carry on through this.

Uncertainty of teams after acquisition.
