Emotionally Immature and Ethically Corrupt
Segal Trials promotes the advancement of interpersonally-challenged individuals into positions of leadership who are fundamentally flawed at providing guidance and mentorship to others. Hidden under the veil of "we're like a family" (an all-too-common red flag for most), the executive/leadership team at Segal leverages intimidation and divide-and-conquer tactics to facilitate the development and completion of goals, many of which go un/miscommunicated to those on the front lines. Should your personal/professional/academic goals differ from the scope at which Segal operates, you should anticipate a subtle and tactful phasing out of your responsibilities/role as they seek out others, who are none-the-wiser, to under pay, over promise, and mistreat. Segal Trials touts itself on providing efficacious data, ethical treatment, and its "growth" as an "industry leader" yet, in the quarter decade of their operations, they've managed to secure under 200 employees with an employee turnover rate of over 45% (most of their staff has been there less than 2 years). In a recent situation, a defaming email was sent on behalf of the BD department taking aim at a former employee who, in good faith listed their former employer as a reference for a new position. Despite initially sending an email praising and celebrating the efforts and skills of the former employee a month before, the department thought it best to send a follow up email mischaracterizing the individual and accusing them of racism and falsification of documents/payroll. Surely an organization that's currently to blame for the millions (if not billions) of revenue loss for a major pharma/bio-tech partner would have other priorities than to smear a former employee. Perhaps not. Should you value your peace, proportionate compensation, and appropriate recognition for your hardwork, you'll be siloed so don't work here, plain and simple. Should you find yourself wanting to embark on a journey filled with gaslighting, condescension, false promises, and exploitation. Then please, apply. Also, if in your opinion a director and a manager should be paid the same (a common practice at Segal) then go ahead and work there.
Advice for management?
Management resides in a fortified echo chamber, supported by an army of yes (wo)men, who clearly find it necessary to secure their position within the company at the expense of their own dignity and integrity. They feed off each other as they exchange stories about the mistreatment of their employees. In summary, the tenured adults at Segal act present and act more like troop of shameful, insecure, and unstable children. read more
