Pros

Plenty of opportunity to fill gaps due to vacancies. If you’re willing to grow yourself and work very long hours you will definitely learn a lot very quickly. Some of the leaders are good, most of the people are pleasant to work with.

Cons

Constant turnover, poor leadership, constant hiring freezes and budget cuts despite frivolous corporate spending. Burnout. Mental health is the lowest priority. The leaders that are bad create a very toxic environment.

Pros

There are some good people at Alkegen who really want to make a difference. Too bad those individuals aren't in senior leadership.

Cons

Alkegen's biggest con is its senior leadership and how they create a toxic work environment of micro managing their subordinates. I've seen some very toxic behaviors from leadership that I've never seen before in my career. I understand getting the job done, but people do have lives outside of work, and leadership doesn't seem to care at all. After dedicating your entire life to Alkegen, management decides no one gets a bonus next year. Besides that, their benefits were terrible, only offering a high deducible PPO with a small contribution to an HSA. My copay and deductible went through the roof. The unlimited PO is not really unlimited, since you're never allowed to disconnect since you're not afforded a work-life balance.
