Disconnected Leadership and Toxic Culture
|
|
Great 401k match, but that’s about it.
The best part of working here is definitely the 401k match. The company's contribution is 50% of your contributions up to the IRS limits.
|
I joined this company with high hopes, but unfortunately, my experience has been far from positive. The leadership style here is best described as "One Team”, which means the CEO way or the highway. Dr. Helen Torley is a micro CEO, who has to approve every single decision within the organization. This top-down approach stifles creativity and innovation, leaving employees feeling undervalued and powerless.
One of the most glaring issues is the disconnect between leadership and employee engagement. Despite claims to the contrary, the leadership team seems oblivious to the dissatisfaction and morale issues festering within the company. There is a clear lack of communication and empathy from higher-ups, leading to a toxic work environment where employees feel unappreciated and unheard.
Employee turnover is high, with many talented individuals leaving due to burnout and frustration with the company's leadership and their culture.

Bad management

New manager didn’t respect experience and lied on review and work contacts
There was age and sexual orientation discrimination - was let go as a senior citizen and coming out as gay
Could have gotten a lawyer, but not worth the fight even though I had all the evidence to support my side.

Hell not Halo!

Hybrid work model
New, modern office

Halozyme prides itself on its “One Team” culture. However, my experience at Halozyme was, regrettably, marked by an overwhelmingly negative culture, that significantly impacted not only my professional growth but also my overall well-being. The core of the issue seemed to stem from the very top, where the CEO’s tyrannical leadership style fostered an environment where a blind eye was turned to the belittling of team members. “Bullying” is not a word I use lightly, but I certainly feel it is applicable here. HR leadership is complicit in this.
The company culture, rather than being collaborative and innovative, felt oppressive and punitive. Feedback, rather than being constructive, often took on a personal and demeaning tone, particularly from some senior management members who seemed to emulate the CEO’s approach. This created a cycle of negativity that was hard to break free from, with employees often feeling undervalued and demotivated.
Moreover, the emphasis on constant surveillance and the need to adhere to excessively detailed directives left little room for autonomy or personal growth. It was disheartening to witness how this micromanagement eroded trust, pushing talented individuals to second-guess their expertise and contributions to the team.
The impact on employee morale was palpable. High turnover rates and frequent absences spoke volumes about the unsustainable nature of the work environment. Conversations among colleagues often revolved around stress, dissatisfaction, and the search for new opportunities elsewhere, rather than professional development or achievements within the company.
In conclusion, my experience at Halozyme was a powerful lesson in the importance of company culture and leadership style. It underscored the necessity of choosing a workplace that values and nurtures its employees, offering a stark contrast to environments where negative practices are prevalent.

Set realistic growth goals for the testosterone sales force. Support employees in sales rather than threaten. Unrealistic goals with no hope of bonus chase solid, experienced sales people away.

Pay attention to the overall size of territories and combine or divide to make them equal to contribute to overall profitability. Be careful how the product is promoted some are on the border or across it when it comes to being on label.
