Promise a lot, but nothing is true
Finance (Former Employee), Berkley Heights, NJ – May 7, 2013
Cons: everything
They promise a lot, but first the 401K, for the first 4 years you can only put your money into their own stock(all your eggs in one basket). Second the finance/shared services group only care about what you have done for me today. Managers are not involved in the day to day and when asked questions get input from their employees then pass off the answer – more... as their own. They also do not work with you to learn their system... They expect you to know their way of doing things or you not good enough.

HR is not interested in your problem, only what their managers tell them. Problem is their managers don't know what they are doing. They have a lot of advancement, problem with that is then you have people that don't know what they are doing in charge.

They tell you that you can make 150% of your bonus, but they never pay it. – less

Review for Celgene
Administrative Assistant, Programming Department (Current Employee), Summit, NJ – March 8, 2013
Pros: friendly people, excellent benefits, good experience
My current position at Celgene includes working with the statistical programmers and mangers in the Data Operations & Programming Department. I keep records for them, handle meeting requests and inquiries about travel/expense reports. I have also set up interviews with contractors/permanent employees when needed and have worked with HR and vendors to – more... coordinate set up.

I work with another administrative assistant in the department so we share responsiblities if needed. We are able to work together in case we need extra help on a project. My department is independent but they are able to ask me for help when necessary.

I am fortunate to work with a group of people that I can help and that appreciate my help. I am happy I can assist them with any issues they may have. – less

Help Desk / Desktop Support (Former Employee), Summit, NJ – August 9, 2012
Pros: cheap lunch
Cons: unorganized work place
On a day to day basis I would take Helpdesk calls and desktop support calls. I learned a great deal with networking and IT troubleshooting. The work environment was very good along with the co-workers and management. the hardest part of the job was taking on challenges that I have not seen before, but that was also the most enjoyable part of the job.

pay is okay but the culture is terrible
principal statistician (Former Employee), nj – June 13, 2012
Pros: stock options for most employees; good health insurance
Cons: management lack of vision; no flexible work schedule; hr is a joke
Salary+bonus+health insurance is okay. but the company still runs like a small biotech company despite of its growth: management does not have vision and inter-departmental relationship is bad due to stupid reporting structure; lack of standard practice;

Unproductive very relaxed atmosphere
compounder (Former Employee), phoenix az – June 6, 2012
Pros: pay was ok
I was a compounder at the Phoenix plant. They put the carriage in front of the horse with no production. The managment was the worst I have ever worked for! Not to mention the H.R. rep was a joke. I would not recomend this company to anyone who is looking for long term employment(with all the layoffs they had and name changes who knows how much longer – more... they will be around). Thumbs down all around. – less

Great pay and benefits entice many people to come. But it is often not enough to overcome a culture that is all about the stock price.
Director (Former Employee), NJ – April 29, 2012
Despite it phenominal growth, Celgene still acts like it is a small biotech that lives and dies by the stock price. It avoids investing in the ultrastructure that is needed to conduct business according to current standard industry practices, and silences employees who try to improve the Company's current practices. Not a good environment who those – more... who take drug development and regulatory agencies seriously. – less

Fast paced, challenging drug development
Director, Clinical R&D (Former Employee), Summit, NJ – January 26, 2012
Pros: global
Cons: the usual stresses in drug development
Great group of clinical experts with the drive to fill the unmet needs of oncology patients. The biologic pharmaceuticals provide added challenges that demand well-thought out strategic plans with back-ups. The global reach allows for international involvement with regulators as well as physicians world-wide.

Celgene is a phenomenal place to work
Receptionists (Former Employee), Summit – November 15, 2011
Pros: phenomenal place to work
Cons: i left because the department i was in, i couldn't grow.
I have been working for Celgene Corporation as a receptionist for many years and it’s a wonderful place to work for. Everybody gets treated with respect. As long as you do your job properly you won’t be micromanaged by your supervisor. You are able to make decisions for the company as long as know it’s best for the company
