Low turnover, hard working people focused on good science - Anonymous employee Rigel Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Pros

This company cares about their employees by providing good benefits, weekly socials, and a semi-friendly working environment. In return the employees often work long hours and take pride in their work. They have retained the "small company" feel and many employees have been there for 10+ years so it feels a little like a family- that, to me, is a sign of a good work environment.

Cons

They do not support career development - such as funding conference attendance and they do not provide training - it's sink or swim and that is entirely up to you. The higher ranking employees have an exclusivity air about them - as in they stick with their own kind - but that's probably true for most executive level people.

Pros

The pipeline of upcoming therapies is good

Cons

The commercial analytics team operates in a challenging and often unsustainable environment. Priorities frequently shift without clear rationale, leading to reactive work cycles and limited ability to execute long-term strategy. There is a consistent gap between leadership expectations and available resources, which results in heavy workloads and a culture where long hours feel normalized. Recognition and constructive feedback are inconsistent, making it difficult for employees to understand how to grow or succeed. Concerns around management practices also impact morale. Experiences across the team suggest that junior employees and consultants are not always supported or treated with the level of respect expected in a healthy work environment. These issues are not isolated and appear to be systemic within parts of the organization.
