Promising company, intense atmosphere

Pros

Promising pipeline and ability to improve cancer treatment options for Chinese patients, competitive compensation and benefits (incl. stock), nice US offices

Cons

Employees in China, CA, MA results in frequent off-hours calls and an incredible volume of emails. Communication is expected during vacations, weekends, and holidays - impossible to get a true break. Limited insulation from the pressures of upper management. Structure is very lean, workload increases faster than structural scaling, lack of processes. No acknowledgement of (or training in how to approach) cross-cultural communication challenges. Some very talented people and ability to impact China pharmaceutical market, but the focus is primarily execution over work-life balance and career development.

DO NOT WORK HERE

Pros

Pretty good compensation when you account for stock grants (when the stock price is up).

Cons

BeiGene tries so hard to be a "global" company that they expect everyone to work across every time zone all the time. Spoiler alert - it doesn't work! They don't care if you have a family or personal life or hobby or anything else you'd rather be doing vs. working 24/7. People are told to create their own boundaries but good luck trying that, and people who do try are forced out. Recent "work life balance" efforts are meaningless ("no meetings from 11 pm - 8 am" - seriously as if that's supposed to be some wonderful thing - there should never have been meetings in the middle of the night!). The no-sleep culture rages on thanks to the continued hiring of toxic people that foster toxic environments where people point fingers and blame each other/their teams instead of taking accountability.

Pros

I met lots of great people who were dedicated to helping patients with cancer

Cons

Sr. Leadership got rid of the solid tumor CMO and replaced her with a “yes” man. He doesn’t rock the boat and doesn’t stand for anything. Sr. Leadership says that they want to be a global company and hired a lot of really great people and let them leave. They never acknowledged that there was a problem as they were bleeding talent. Poor work life balance. Not worth staying if you weren’t respected.
