Takeda Pharmaceuticals Reviews

Pros

Supportive Great structure Awesome teams

Cons

Slow Low pay Pipeline is low

Pros

The benefits, especially the time off, are excellent. Pay and bonus are good and appropriate for experience and geographical area and he health insurance is top tier and very affordable. Most people are nice and helpful but also very professional and they really know their area of expertise and care a lot about doing a good job

Cons

The only issue I've experienced here is that they seem to slow-walk people's careers if you stick around. With a few exceptions, it will take years and years before you are able to move into a supervisory role. There are a lot of people competing for relatively few roles and vacancies in management are rare. They do encourage people to move around a lot which is good if you get bored easily but it seems to be mostly a series of lateral moves. Also, they recently began moving people away from a 3/2 remote/on-site schedule to a 2/3 or more. I suspect they'll try to go back to full on site within the next 12 months, which seems to be something only the senior leaders want.

Pros

I have come to like most of the people I work with on second shift there good people and I have seen the team grow from when we only had around 7 people on the shift entirely to now having around 18 and growing. The Pay is solid but considering what the company makes for the product we distribute we could and should be absolutely be making more . Nice facility / building.

Cons

The Management is poor and is constantly pushing us for numbers and not caring about the people working getting them those numbers. people outside of the manufacturing department treat you like your less than them especially some of the higher ups within the company. You have barely enough time to eat before your rushed back to the floor. The two shifts almost seem to be at ends with each other (ex. first shift did this , and second shift only did this). The supervisors have not been in the employees corner. I have had 3 different supervisors to this point and 2 of them have sit in the office and listen to people that tell them lies about what's going on on the floor. The most recent one has been put in place temporarily and is the best one i've had because of the fact that he was on the floor at one point and knows what's going on. The people who lie can't lie to him about what's going on because he knows the process. There's people who won't contribute to anything and will tell lies to the supervisor as to what other people are doing. Everyone wants to be the boss, you'll hear different directions from many different people and will be confused as to what the actual plan is. I have noticed my health and body start to wear down because of the physical labor that is required... I am also considered young by most in the working class. I tried to move into another department and I was blocked for doing so even though i've put in my time, and was told by HR that it's not right for them to keep people when they want to grow their careers and move on. There are a lot of issues that I have experienced in my short time within the company, coming in and seeing the facility I thought that this would be an amazing opportunity and a great place to work but i was mistaken.

Pros

Almost 2 years ago now I could have given you multiple pros, but struggle to think of any in 2023.

Cons

This review is very specific and revolves around the DCT team. The female leader (since Glassdoor doesn’t allow names) has really allowed her team to be some of the most unprofessional people to clients. Her pressures on the team drives them to treat others so poorly that I had to escape before my professional reputation got ruined by her. Since leaving and talking to the outsiders, that I am still in touch with, my intuition was correct. I have learned there are 3 members of that team who are essentially blacklisted if they were to apply elsewhere. It’s one of these industries if you have been around for 5 or more years, you are somehow connected to everyone for insight into an individual. I cannot recommend working for this team anymore, if you plan to stay in the clinical space long term.

Pros

Takeda has had up to this point a great culture and supportive atmosphere. The team makes it great and we do good work. Benefits are awesome as well.

Cons

Rebuild mode for Oncology Business Unit. Lots of change at leadership level. Leadership lacks trust in staff.

Pros

Assessment as per cv accordingly

Cons

Work permit visa for Canada European 🇪🇺 country

Pros

The benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Nepotism & Favoritism is the entire social network here. No preventive maintenance, all maintenance are emergencies. Downsized manpower with increased responsibilities with out any compensation, unless your apart of the "buddy group". The majority of the employees at the top, recommended their life long friends to work within their department. Work life balance is either non existence, or you are pestered to work consecutive days in a row without any advancement. When asked about advancement upper management only recommend "lateral movements". Scope of work for all positions are non existent. Every position does the exact job.

Pros

The organization is very patient-focused, which is super important. The benefits are strong and there is a lot of career opportunity.

Cons

Work-life balance can be difficult to manage depending on the role.

Pros

Lots of opportunity for creating a path suited to interests.

Cons

Consensus decision making can be difficult to manage.

Pros

Great workplace and caring environment

Cons

Onetimes poor Work life balance
