Pros

The only pro is benefits

Cons

Managers are hired here without any management experience or emotional intelligence. The company provides a questionnaire which evaluates your strength deployment and categorizes you into Red/Blue/Green. People in the company use this SDI color as a means of being superior to another, this is discrimination. To who ever joins the QC team, beware, cos you will be thrown under the bus on several occasions. The person you will be reporting into will do ANYTHING to advance herself and pull the entire team down. It's downright comical that I have experienced this first hand and heard this from several other department heads. I even read her chats where she shames other employees. Just a toxic team to work with. There is NO TRAINING for the work you will do. I am relieved to be out of this place!

Lacks vision, but fortunately, inherited a cash machine

Pros

Job security. Halozyme has a product that has good demand and will generate good revenues for the next few years. I think salaries can be higher than the standard in this area. I think this is the only way to get people to come here and to try and get some of them to stay.

Cons

Managers are not help accountable in any way, either for their own performance, or to their support (or lack thereof) for their employees. If you get stuck with a bad manager (and there are a few of them), nobody cares. There is no vision or strategy, both because the leadership can't provide it, and because the business does not need it, as it basically runs on its own.

Pros

Halozyme offers great benefits and the employees are great to work with.

Cons

There are some managers with bad behavior that is toxic among employees and are the reason for losing great talent. Contractors are treated better than employees by the very same managers leaving actual team members feeling devalued.
