Takeda Pharmaceuticals reviews

Looooong decision making across layers, most decisions are being made in Japan Senior Management changes direction every year with different structures and objectives Every year minimally one restructure

Constant shifts and changes in leadership made career development and upward movement challenging due to inconsistencies in opportunities, communication, expectations, and commitment to culture by leaders. Teams were understaffed, overworked, and undersupported, bogged down with processes that led to burnout and employee mental health issues. Leaders were difficult to trust. Transparency was lacking among team structures. Information sharing was highly controlled and often stayed with only a select few. The talking points spoken by Sr. Director and above leadership are not often backed by action. An annual "cleaning of the house" exists where stakeholders suddenly disappear. The HR business partner is working for leadership, not the employee. You are treated like a number if you leave or are separated from the company. Takeda does not live up to its people-first value.
