No Work-Life Balance - Regulatory Affairs Associate Takeda Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits with industry competitive salary.

Cons

I was employed at Millennium Pharmaceuticals for 4 years prior to the Takeda buy-out. Millennium was a happy, friendly, almost family-like environment...Takeda is the total opposite. The company is disinterested in their employees' needs & interests, especially the newly acquired Millennium employees. There is ZERO flexibility & work-life balance. The "upper management" (a.k.a. original Takeda employees) located out in Chicago believe their way of doing things is the right/only way of doing things, and are unwilling to listen to or consider any other ideas or suggestions. The merger was completely disorganized and chaotic. After 2+ years of transitioning, processes, policies, and core-roles & responsibilities are still unclear and inconsistent.

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
