Pros

Great Benefits but I know that they are looking to reduce in the future.

Cons

Too many re-organizations. The company does not have time to settle before being shaken up again. An incredible amount of talent and knowledge base has been lost. Instead of good workers, now there are multiple useless layers of upper management with nobody left to manage.

Canada is a cultural disaster

Pros

There are many pros about the organization which include the people, the location, the total compensation and the products.

Cons

The President/ General Manager is a critical one in setting the culture for the organization. CP has never demonstrated Takeda's values of fairness, integrity, honesty and respect. He is a narcissist, cannot make decisions and only likes to hear himself talk. There has never been an occasion when he has shown either care or respect to employees. The culture in Canada can only be described as grossly toxic. The good people are continuously looking for opportunities outside of the organization and where top talent has left, the positions remain open and unfilled leaving it up to those left behind to fill the gaps.

Current leadership in Canada needs to improve

Pros

Colleagues, salary & benefits, products. Takeda has a good portfolio of products and the recent acquisition of Ariad will help.

Cons

Current leader Chatrick Paul. Came in and impatiently fired the local leadership team he inherited. They were the same leadership team that helped make Takeda successful in Canada. He lost much respect with rank and file following that move, and looks unlikely to restore it any time soon.
