Pros

Great location in Cambridge, MA, competitive salary, flexible working arrangements and lots of nice co-workers. On first blush Takeda is a great place to work.

Cons

Like most large pharmas, Takeda is constantly "transforming" itself which is Takeda speak for downsizing. The R&D Organization, where I work, has undergone two global, large scale downsizings, in the past two years. Additionally, management is very disconnected with the employee-base. In short, we lose people every day who we can't afford to lose.

Pros

Great culture and opportunity to work alongside brilliant people. Work life balance is what you make it. Good opportunity to explore other areas and expand skills.

Cons

Things seem to get bottlenecked and there tends to be unclear expectations and lack of ability to use the skills you develop in new roles. Really hard to move up internally
