Pros

Not many. Nothing unique compared to other companies. Seriously lacking in benefits in multiple areas. Losing talent as more people leave

Cons

If you ever get a weird sinking feeling that something is wrong when you are talking to HR or the hiring manager while interviewing for this company, you should trust your instincts. At the core, this company is rotten. People just resign to the fact that HR and IT don’t respond or perform basic responsibilities and it’s accepted as ‘Takeda culture’. Incompetent leadership where you will be gaslighted and blackballed for even mentioning any issues or suggesting any improvements. Incompetent micro-managers are tolerated (HR doesn't do a thing) and managers have their own agendas and want a sea of yes men. Professional individuals will be pushed out with bad falsified reviews, poor performance and bullied. There are many directors and above that I have no idea what they actually do, and the company would fare better if there wasn’t so many middle micro managers. No support or advocacy. No growth opportunities. Speak up and diversity and inclusion are just smokescreens. Incredibly toxic environment. My biggest regret is coming to this company in the first place and staying so long.

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
