Pluspunten

Competitive compensation, good benefits, and nice CA campus. Many nice and well-meaning employees trying to do their best under impossible circumstances.

Minpunten

C-suite management is arrogant, unprofessional, not capable/qualified for their roles, and only self-interested. The company has created an illusion of openness and stability to prospective employees that is well crafted but misrepresents how the company actually functions, which is in a constant state of chaos with C-suite micromanagement throughout the organization. This results in under/mis-informed decision-making being the norm, undermining of upper and mid-level management, and constant flux across every dimension of the organization, which leaves most employees in a constant state of exhaustion and disillusionment. The company does not have a forward-looking vision or strategy, only a series of reactions to the latest crisis that are self-made due to poor/inadequate planning. For instance, the company opened a research site in Pennsylvania and closed it in less than a year from the doors opening. This illustrates how dramatically and whimsically the company functions and makes huge decisions to invest and then divest. The company treats employees as widgets that can be hired and fired with little regard to the impact on their lives.

Pluspunten

I I have learned a lot and grown during my time at Exelixis. I work hard every day with my team, and I am motivated to do so because of our mission. We give our patients more time with those they love. What’s better than that? I work alongside some great folks, and I am excited to see what the future holds for us. Our benefits and the benefits team are excellent. Good pay, a beautiful campus, and meaningful work. Are there issues? Sure, every organization has them, but I am happy here.

Minpunten

Internal support structures like a central communication hub are missing but are currently being developed.

Pluspunten

I read all the reviews before, during, and after the interview process, and after accepting my offer, and found that much of what people are complaining about isn't unique to Exelixis. On-site expectations aren't unique, constant change isn't unique, and leaders who aren't perfect aren't unique. What is unique is the genuinely kind and committed staff, significant investment in excellent benefits and perks, dogs allowed in non-lab environments, and people who spend their careers here. My advice for job seekers: don't be scared. Reach out to your network and ask them directly about their experiences. Bitter Glassdoor reviews didn't dissuade me, and I'm glad I didn't listen.

Minpunten

Some teams are extremely top-heavy with titles that don't exist in the industry, and some leaders are more interested in flexing their control than leading with empathy.
