      I have been working at PDL full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      In my assessment here work can be done with confidence and scope of creativity prevails there.

      Cons

      some people working there are not smart up to the mark

      Advice to Management

      Every worker should be honoured by their performance

      Pros

      Good benefits and excellent pay or golden handcuffs.

      Cons

      Workload is unreasonable. High stress and high volume that is centered on a small amount of people.

      Advice to Management

      Management has no idea how to manage. It is the buddy system and only "yes men" are rewarded regardless of education and experience. If you are liked they will give you the moon. People who work hard and produce are not rewarded or recognized.

    4. "Senior management incompetence"

      Pros

      Level of flexibility, good mid-level management, interesting science, good technology, good academic collaborators

      Cons

      favouritism, incompetent management, people who dont know what they dont know and who dont care that they dont know, lack of openess, total lack of responsibility

      Advice to Management

      replace research management with scientists who care and understand drug development and really passionate about bringing new medicines to patients
      focus on values rather then just set of skills
      improve communication between groups, be less process oriented and more people oriented

    5. "Fantastic bio-tech company that was restricted by Wall Street"

      Pros

      Great work environment. Open lines of communications with top management. Superb talent among sales force. Very generous for top performers.

      Cons

      Poor execution of bringing new products to the market. Could have been the top critical care/ hospital based company. No vision for the future after generic entrance.

      Advice to Management

      Limit the influence of the Wall Street on the company's managerial decisions. Focus on "boutique" application of human anti-body technology rather than on "cure for all" approach.
