Pros
Strong leadership from Agenus Headquarters. Clear vision and direction
Cons
Toxic environment mainly created by a few managers who abuse their power to mistreat people. The only people who historically have survived and succeed in Agenus-UK are those who are willing to follow the culture these handful of managers have created. To spread malicious gossip and rumors for their colleagues in an attempt to hide their incompetency both in managerial and scientific level. Unfortunately, this toxic culture extends to the way the handle communication with Agenus-USA , gossiping about colleagues in Lexignton or the level of information they 'choose' to share with the Headquarters. One would hope that with such negative culture HR would step up to handle the situation effectively. Instead the person who had been appointed HR can only be described as a dysfunctional personality who 'hates' any social interaction and has used their power to defame both current employees as well as previous ones. For the ones considering joining Agenus-UK be sure of one thing. The better you are at your job the more will fight you, the more will gossip about you and they will make it intolerable for you to work there. There are specific managers who have mastered the art of creating conflict among employees just to hide all their inferiority syndromes.And the not so few who surround these managers will look for anything, simply anything to create rumours , slander and create a toxic , depressing environment that has previously affected several colleagues both personally and professionally.
