Pros

Very nice culture and the products they have are top notch--best in market.

Cons

Even after the purchase of Shire, Poor pipeline while several products are about to LOE. It has become a "layoff company." Not aggressive getting products on managed care. Now, pretty large territories, often solo, competing v other products with teams. Launching products is a huge weakness for the marketing dept. Even naming of new products has been a disaster (ex: Nesina diabetes family of products...3 totally different and unrelated names); (ex #2: one of the rare companies to have needed to change a drug's name post-launch, and Takeda had to do it TWICE!! Kapidex-Dexilant, Brintellix-Trintellix). You must go to the home office in Chicago (now Boston) and training department in order to advance, with very few exceptions. They did away with pensions a few years ago.

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
