Not Kite Pharma, This is Cell Design Labs - Recensione dipendente - Associate Scientist presso Kite Pharma

Amazing staff and growth potential

Like most companies hard to understand exactly what upper management goals are

Benefits from the parent company are the only pros here.

The work environment is extremely toxic and hostile towards those that are efficient and good at their responsibilities and roles. The workplace favors extreme incompetence across manufacturing, technical training and quality departments. I’ve never seen a company where associates can get into physical altercations and still keep their jobs. The people leaders that tried to hide that altercation should be cut immediately but that’s not what they like to do over at kite pharma where instead of focusing on the cure they like to focus on other people’s bodies. They like to reward incompetence with less responsibilities and praise while those who are competent enough get reprimanded with made up lies. There’s no point in providing feedback to the people leaders because they will twist your words in order to make it so that it looks like you are going against their precious core values. It doesn’t matter what you say because once they’ve made up their minds that you’re not exhibiting enough teamwork and inclusion then that’s it. If you’re not competent enough at your job then for sure there will big bonuses and raises waiting at year end review. People leaders will absolutely twist and turn the HR processes that are designed to protect personnel against them. There’s a lot of heavy abuse when it comes to making a complaint against any individual. Lots of biases involved since it seems that no one at this company have friends outside of work so they take everything as a personal attack on their “friends”. Lots of individuals needs to be tiptoed around on eggshells or they might get offended at the slightest breeze, people leaders don’t see that these people are the problem but insist on turning a blind eye labeling it as anti-inclusive , anti-teamwork, anti-collaboration and whatnot. Never know when the next person is going to get offended and start acting like they have been a victim their entire life
