Working at BioMarin Pharmaceutical in Novato, CA: 7 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Novato, CA Area

"I've worked for biomarin for 6 months and have had a great working experience. With the top industry specialists working under one roof, it's a great learning experience."

"I have worked for BioMarin for six and half years and found the work very fulfilling. As the company has moved from a small to mid-size company, the politics has gotten worse and those of us who have been around from the beginning are finding it harder to stay. I love the people I work with and I truly hope management can figure out a way to retain the dynamic and ambitious employees and not settle for those who simply abide the changing culture. Overall, BioMarin has heart and I hope that they can find their way again. If you are considering a position there, maybe you can be part of the solution. Good Luck!"

"I did learn a lot but I was a temp in two different jobs there. The message I got was "we're growing, we've been promised head count" but the reality was we're in debt, we're not profitable, we need to focus on our critical programs versus growing. While they have a lot of potential, my timing was off. It was a good experience here but I am done being a temp/contractor."
