Kite Pharma reviews

Management does not communicate or listen. My experience is that hard work does not help you. Team was on a skeleton crew for each shift. After working 10 hrs they expect you to come right back on a moments notice regardless if you have family to attend to. Toxic work environment. On boarding takes too long. Kite does not care about Work life/Home life balance. I was targeted my upper management..I reported it to HR, nothing happened for 2 months. I found another job and HR told me during my exit interview that my upper management was going to have ER (Employee Relations) look into her regardless of me leaving or not. That it shouldn't have taken so long. My question is why was I still reporting to that individual for so long then for the behavior to continue? When I left I was not able to access my pay stubs through the ADP app...I have been in communication with HR about this. They keep thinking I'm asking my PTO (again communication). I've been pushed off to my old boss. (I did not have a proper exit interview to go over any paperwork). My direct report lost her entire reports within a month. My co-worker put in her resignation right before me for the same reasons. High turn over rate.

Opportunities seem to be lacking. They say they care about career growth, but are very picky about people leaving their positions or even promoting to a degree that is financially beneficial/an incentive to stay. Hours are long and improvements take time, but that's biotech.
