Pros
LEO Innovation Lab is an great place to work. There are plenty of opportunity to grow and be part of driving meaningful projects for patients and doctors. The corporate startup environment encourages employees to drive the projects at it was their own startups and expects the managers to be the experts in their field therefore lots of autonomy. This combined with an incredible support system of compliance, legal, medical and a global BD team, gives the projects a high likelihood of success.
There is a very open culture and everyone is eager to talk across projects and learn from each other. Water cooler talk (or coffee) can lead to super inspiring talks. Nothing is spared on the social events, and there is even a chef preparing lunch every day.
Cons
Building a corporate innovation lab is a difficult task, and there has been many changes on the way, where transparency on decisions is key for people’s engagement and ownership. LEO Pharma as an owner has plenty of knowledge to benefit from, which could be exploited further.
