Kite Pharma reviews

I echo what most reviews say on here that management is unqualified. A lot of hires come from Amgen and go to Kite to get bloated titles but have zero idea how to do the work. But it’s not just Amgen alumni now. Since 2019 there has been a “dumbing down” happening at Kite. Even at the leadership level, recent hires are definitely less qualified than their predecessors. But I’d like to focus on the culture at Kite. Diversity and inclusion here are just lip service. Leadership likes to tell us that they stand by people of color, but take a look at the leadership team. Diversity only applies to staff-level. Preaching inclusion and “advancing black leadership” kinda falls flat when the KLT (and their -1s) severely lacks diversity. Also, people of color do not need to be schooled on diversity by a bunch of white people in HR (this literally happened in our group when someone asked about the propel program).

Management could be improved, workload could be very busy due to reduced staff count.
