Pros
A free health insurance plan that doesn't require referrals and has low copays
Cons
ImmunoGen is emailing new employees and asking us to leave positive reviews here on Glassdoor. A recruiter working in the HR dept has also requested this from some of us in person. That is proof that the previous negative reviews are on target. HR has decreed that people are only motivated in life to leave negative reviews, so therefore the negative reviews here are not truly indicative of how people feel at IMGN. That shows just how Imgn views its employees and decides to handle their grievances: straight denial, refusal to address the numerous and very real problems brought up here, and then fighting back with unscrupulous tactics. They are also only asking new employees to submit positive reviews because they are still on their best behavior and mostly clueless to the history of mistreatment. It is also directly in line with their attitude towards attrition. They care about certain departments, such as clinical, but when it comes to the attrition in other depts., they say (a direct quote from an executive) “let them leave, we’ll get someone better.” So to my new fellow employees still in the honeymoon phase, enjoy your fleeting perks like pupternity leave, but the true feelings of Imgn are that you can be replaced, easily. Unbelievably, this attitude fits perfectly with our new communist culture motto: "Work. Behave. Done." No, that is not a joke. As well as giving preferential treatment to only certain depts., the company also only cares about select favored individuals regardless of merit. A number of middle managers wreak havoc in their departments and cause a high attrition rate. Many employees are forced to voice their grievances to other managers and HR, but nothing is ever done to address the actual problems that stem from incompetent and hostile managers. In fact, ruthless and amoral behavior by managers is often rewarded by promotions and more power. This broken system is further exacerbated by the review process. It involves 360 reviews, however, I can only see 180 reviews and have never been asked to provide feedback for anyone in my upline. Managers are not held accountable for poor performance and mistreatment of their team, yet any manager (even if not your own), is privy to your performance review and can even dispute your rating. And to cap it all off, you only get promoted if your manager is willing to fight for it. If you have an indifferent or, heaven forbid, hostile manager, good luck. You will go nowhere and discover you earn less than people with lower titles than you. If you bring up these issues with HR, they lash out and tell you not to talk about salaries. Remember, work, behave, done.
