Pros

Good corporate culture, mostly nice people. There are a wide spectrum of people with differing levels of competencies, but in general, I have not met any truly unreasonable or nasty people here. The environment is full of people who are trying to their best in a vortex of inexplicable constant change and self induced bureaucratic inefficiencies. Recently, number of perks has been reduced due to financial cost cutting, but it is still one of the most decent places to work, in my 20 year biotech experience. It may be a good stepping stone to other opportunities in the Boston area.

Advice to Management

Direction of company and explanations given at townhall meetings are not clear, and appear to be doublespeak at times. I do not think anyone outside the C-suite think integrating with Shire is a good idea for $64 Bn? Is Takeda executive team with mediocre record of performance really capable of integrating and managing another company equal in size with similar sub par performance?

Pros

Compensation, bonus structure, benefits, location

Advice to Management

Talk to people outside of meetings

Pros

Employee and Patient Focus is very apparent

Pros

Great CEO, Pay, Benefits, People, Culture

Advice to Management

Keep Christophe Weber
Up-skill the middle and senior leaders.

Pros

The parking lot is amazing. Since the parking lot bears little to no weight outside the hours of 9 am to 4 pm, the concrete and black top stay in amazing condition.

No stress cracks or other signs of wear. The State Department of Transportation should use Takeda's parking lot as the baseline in their studies of vehicle weight impacts to highways and other roadways.

The pond is not overcrowded with watercraft. Very easy to step away from your desk, take your personal watercraft out to the pond, and find a relaxing spot to sunbathe, read, or do something else to pass the day before you head home.

Advice to Management

Close the Deerfield office and eliminate the over 50% of employees there that are just dead wood providing you no value. The reason your expenses are one of the worst in the industry is your people. The people at your company don't actually do any work. You are not a Pharmaceutical Company. You are a Private Welfare Company.
