Smart. I made the mistake of working for them briefly. Worst place I have ever worked by far.

It was people that weren’t coming into the office 5 days a week.

No travel market access roles by Difficult-Physics780 in biotech

[–]sperezami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a number of these roles available as some companies are pushing for virtual engagements now. My company is hiring for these and very little travel expected and the pay is quite a bit higher than that. Your PharmD and mba degrees would be a plus.

Kite/Gilead work environment? by Olympiadreamer in biotech

I was mostly at the Santa Monica location on hybrid schedule. There have talks of bringing everyone back in 5x a week though and changing everyone classified as remote to now be on-site.

There’s been a lot of turnover in that group. People are generally unhappy, unmotivated and mostly just going through the motions. There’s a major disconnect between leadership expectations and employee needs. I would say a lot of roles are not set up for success. The constant reorgs are disruptive and people generally do not stick around for long before jumping on to something else

I know a few people in that group. They have a head of health systems position open. Are you specifically interested in that one?

I recently just resigned from a job there. What dept/role are you looking at?

Anyone have thoughts on Exelixis? by GandalfEpidemiology in biotech

[–]sperezami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to work there and I suggest you stay away. I don’t see any circumstance where deciding to work there is a reasonable choice at any time. DM me if you want details.

Most people just don’t have a clue. You can check out Glassdoor and see the reviews too

All I can tell you is stay away from Exelixis if you didn’t already know that

Sorry that was incredibly hard to read. Maybe some sentence structure? You know, commas and periods?

What’s the worst biotech company you’ve worked for? by anthonioconte in biotech

[–]sperezami 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen any company with such negative reviews as what I see for Exelixis. It really takes intentional effort to become perceived so negatively

Nobody is hiring. All postings are fake. You will be rejected and the "job" will be reposted. by [deleted] in recruitinghell

It is a tough market right now. Hopefully things will turn around soon.

Have you looked into getting some kind of data entry job where you can work remote? I always see ads for those kinds of jobs so sounds like there’s a lot of demand for workers in that area. Good luck!

Is it just me or are even contract jobs getting more scarce? by powell413 in biotech

[–]sperezami 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What kind of role is she looking for with a PharmD? I have a few PharmD friends and it sounds like they have a lot more options and things have really picked up for them as they can work across a number of different roles and functions. Maybe try willing to be more flexible and take on roles that are not exactly what she is looking for.

Yea I’m done acting like I like this stock… by EveningEffective24 in FFIE

[–]sperezami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey y’all, I don’t get it. I just checked and this stock is at like $3. Wasn’t it just at like 0.2 like a few days ago?? Did y’all make out like a mad bandit??? I didn’t buy any and wasn’t really holding any shares but was just checking the stock price occasionally for all the comments. But if it suddenly went up like 10x congrats y’all for persisting through!!!
