Poor Performance as Employer

Pros

1. Have stock option and the stock price is increasing 2. Good life work balance since no one desires to do extra 3. Good products to sell which benefits the patients

Cons

1. Yearly salary increment is less than inflation 2. Yearly incentive is less than 1 month bonus: Employee incentive plan 5% and sales/marketing incentive plan 12% 3. Less than 5% employee can have more than exceed expectation for yearly review. No encouragement for employee to do more than achieve expectation. 4. Hiring is person for the job or setting up job for the person especially for those that know the HR personnel 5. Cutting costs, headcounts and benefits of employees - where is the "Trust in your words and your actions"? 6. Layers of bureaucacy for decision making and asking to justify the obvious - where is the "Willing to face the challenges and the unknown"? 7. Retaliation from HR and management when employees are willing to be open to express their views and opinions which is different from management. 8. No career development plan or roadmap for employees. HR ask the employee to think of their own career roadmap, of course becomes employees think about where are other opportunities in other companies.

Good Company but it depends on which Department you work for

Pros

Good Company overall but it depends on which department and manager you work for . Good pay & benefit.

Cons

-I worked for Celgene over 3 years , its a good company to work for but unfortunately I worked in Corporate Accounting which it runs by Mr. right who surrounded himself with bunch of yes men. There are so much Favoritism, politics , double standard and discrimination especially against older employee in that department. He appointed some incompetent middle managers who don't have the minimum skills to manage and don't even know what they are managing . - I would say in my career I have not seen a manager as horrible as my former manager. She micromanaged and wants to control everything
