Pros

Partnership with JNJ warrants half of the business. And funding from Genscript means good cash flow.

Cons

Almost a one pony show with cilta.cel. The company has only treated a handful patients itself since the past five years. They try to distance themself from the common image of a Chinese company. But they are essential a Chinese company. There have been too much change in the clinical development. Employees face the shortage of resource and infrastructure from day one. Be prepared to end a meeting on Monday night 10 pm. Then dial in another meeting on 8am Tuesday. You might work under a higher title. But they expect you to deliver 200% of your pay and work 7 days a week. So think through the worst outcome before joining. The reality can be even worse than your imagination.

Pros

Used to be a great place to work

Cons

They’re switching to a 24 hr business model in September. There’s no issue with that. However all of operations will only be being bumped up to a 15% differential for working 5pm-6am instead of 12% for 1pm-1am. On the other hand every other department working third shift times will be making 18%, such as technical support and facilities. Meanwhile tech support works from home 90% of the time and gets 18%. Upper managements response is well they’re working less hours and all of third shift while operations is a hybrid of second and third shift. Disclaimer… operations works some of second shift and ALL of third shift. What a horrible response. They aren’t giving current second shift opportunities for displacement at other positions, and when asked “what about our families etc, did you consider that?” Upper management’s response was well you’re more than welcome to look for other opportunities elsewhere.
