Pros

Piror to mid 2015, Takeda Canada (and previously Nycomed / Altana) was a very successful company with an excellent culture and strong, consistent, respectful leadership. Good products. Some very good people.

Cons

New and very junior CEO (C.P.) is in way over his head. Narcissistic, arrogant and lacking in emotional intelligence and self awareness. Only interested in hearing himself speak. Disrespectful to almost everyone. This new leadership has ruined a great culture in record time. Most good people have left or are actively looking to leave.

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
