Kite Pharma reviews

something caustic is spreading within commercial manufacturing... friends promoting friends, performance and teamwork has been thrown out with the baby and bathwater... it makes me sick to my stomach to see what has become of a company that once inspired me now with certain management in place i believe it is doomed and i'm not going to be there when a patient dies from not receiving thier medicine because management simply ... doesn't care.. actions have spoken... and the minions of darkness will envelope all that was once good.. my voice was silenced and shunned, my exit will be a quiet one yet the doors that close behind me im sadden to say may finally fall as once the tower of babel from its own doing.

There is a lot of virtue signaling and the company and leadership are highly influenced by special interest groups. Expect to be invisible and for your career to stagnate if you're not part of some special interest. The company is very risk averse and doesn't invest much in process development. The science is cutting edge, but the production processes are antiquated and difficult to operate. Not much thought is given to designing processes that are fit for purpose. Innovation stops at R&D and ideas for meaningful improvement in the production processes are often stopped due to the company's bureaucratic and overly conservative culture. Also, people may seem nice but many of them are only self interested and don't think of what could benefit the team and company. In general, I would not recommend the company but it is a better choice (for pay and benefits) than most biotechs including Genentech/Roche.
