Working at Caris Life Sciences

Hours you can work and medical benefits

wish I would have listened to the reviews. The benefits were good at first then they took everything away that was worth coming in. The management is all females and if you don’t fit in their mean girl club they will treat you like crap. They micromanage EVERYTHING. They set you up for failure and will tell you that you can’t talk to certain people in the company even if you’re friends with them. I felt like I was in middle school. It is so bad for your mental health and the turn over rate is crazy. They treat everyone as they are disposable no matter how good of a worker you are. They are truly terrible people. It sucks cause the work was easy and I didn’t mind it but they truly make in unbearable to be there. Got a lot of bonuses at first but they took that away too. Even if you’re the best worker and should be the one getting promoted if you’re not their friend you won’t get it. If you stick up for yourself be prepared to have retaliation. They will have someone say something about you just to get you in trouble.

Medical benefits

Fire a lot of the upper managers and start fresh

It’s his way or no way at all.

Read about it but honestly just don’t do it. You will regret it as soon as you do

They are a billion dollar company and started paying us less and less

Fine

Nothing it all sucks

Some employees at Caris have Discretionary Time Off. They submit time off requests two weeks or more in advance, and based on manager discretion, can take off as much time as they want.

The biggest con of working at Caris is the flawed business model of having sales teams with a variety of different managers. This leads to conflicting goals and objectives for the same accounts and causes unnecessary internal conflict. The pay for sales associates has been adjusted DOWN in a variety of creative ways over the past few years. They adjust quotas up yearly anywhere from 25-46%, which is an unrealistic expectation. Setting excessive goals is just one more way of paying people less. They didn’t give inflationary raises either.

Working at Caris is a great stepping stone for someone who wants to enter oncology pharmaceuticals. You can gain oncology experience then go to almost any other company and make more money and have a better company culture.

Hire an expert team to suggest how best to improve the culture. Saying you’re working to improve company culture doesn’t mean that you’re doing anything. The culture is so bad that only an expert could fix it.

Read everything you can about the company and the product offerings. Reach out to other Caris employees on LinkedIn.

The compensation at Caris is lower than at other oncology diagnostics companies.

There is only one female in senior leadership at Caris.

Benefits were avarage. No perk.

Can work from home.

They let you go in a heartbeat.
