The workplace culture is great. Everyone is friendly and willing to help you with whatever it is you need. The management really tries to guide you in a direction that will help you succeed at the highest level.
Cons
Collaborating with someone from another department might mean traveling to other buildings on the Takeda campus.
Advice to Management
Have an internal IT department in the same building as the research and development. It will help keep progress flowing and in the right direction.

Pros
Good work life balance
-good amount of marketing material
-excellent people
-throughout trainingCons
-low salaries compaired to industry average
-very unagile, unwillingness to adapt marketing messages to specific territories.
-inconsistent sales messagesAdvice to Management
Listen more to sales reps in the field and follow through on the new programs you will role out. There was a big push for "local business ownership" that got completely swept under the rug. There were some top accounts that we were unable to reach simply because marketing didn't want to "spend the money". Many of the DMs are from the old Pharma times and are both reluctant and unaware of how access and managed care are actually being conducted.

Pros
Takeda has a lot of promising growth through its oncology & oncology pipeline. Compensation is second to none along with great benefits and a flexible work-life balance (at least in US)
Company taking measures in trying to "trim the fat"Cons
Decision makers not invested in core revenue generating business and lack knowledge of unique operating models.
In some cases a real team dynamic operating environment is missing as management units compete against each other to preserve P&L control
HRM? Yes, they come up with all the catchy work-life dynamics and programs but lack any tangible value when inter-acting with employees.Advice to Management
Know where your true revenue generating businesses are and allow them to have a voice on strategic decisions
