The culture of GTx rewards initiative – we take pride in our work, and we are motivated to exceed expectations. We are highly selective about the colleagues we ask to join us, and we believe it says a lot that our employee turnover rate is exceptionally low. Below, in their own words, GTx employees explain why they chose to come to GTx and what it is like to work here.
Susan, Director, Medical Communications Team Leader
GTx is an exciting biotech with impressive potential and people. The preclinical and clinical pipeline carry great promise for new therapies and treatments. And, importantly for me, it is a people-driven company that is supportive of its employees and where I believe I can make a real difference.
Angel, Laboratory Technician, Analytical
Work at GTx is a continuing educational process. We learn new lab techniques daily. Guest scientists lecture regularly. And, GTx does a great job keeping its employees informed about corporate developments. The morning of the announcement of our successful Phase III study results, we arrived to a large celebration – balloons, a DJ blasting music into the parking lot and then the announcement in the break room by Dr. Steiner. It was great how the company shared its good news with everyone.
Casey, Research Scientist II, Cell Biology
The best part about working at GTx is the people. GTx has recruited outstanding scientists to create a world-class discovery program. We know that innovation is the key to success in the biopharmaceutical industry. Our drug discovery and development effort is focused, and we have a demonstrated record of success with our SERMs, SARMs and our preclinical pipeline. That’s why we have established a name for ourselves as leaders in this field.
Lorre, Director, Sales Operations
For me, three words sum up GTx: integrity, competence and passion. When I interviewed with senior management and others from various levels of the company, what stuck out was their competence and talent. It was also apparent that GTx places an extremely high value on people, and that the company is well managed from the top and is poised to succeed. Though it was a major transition to move my family from Wisconsin to Memphis, I believe I am in the right place.
Kimberly, Laboratory Technician, Analytical
GTx offers me a wonderful opportunity to use my knowledge and expertise to help improve health and quality of life for patients. My work challenges me daily with new and exciting ventures. I also value working closely with talented and caring people, and that allows me to push myself to do my best for my coworkers and for the company.
Cubie, Scientist I, Analytical
In my three years at GTx, I have worked on projects both large and small. Project teams are well organized, which allows all of us to be continually engaged in the collection of meaningful scientific data to make the best decisions. It is exciting to be a part of the process of moving a new compound from its discovery on the lab bench through clinical trials and ultimately to be dispensed to a patient by a local pharmacist.
Shontelle, Vice President, Medical Affairs
I came to GTx because it offers me an opportunity to meaningfully employ the skills I acquired during my 13-year pharmaceutical career. Senior management here exhibits real passion and enthusiasm to bring life-saving medications to patients, and they do not see failure as an option. The science behind the product portfolio is sound and innovative. All of this makes for a motivating work environment.
