Pros
Work life balance, benefits, casual dress, open bar and appetizer mingles during work hours.
Cons
I had the luxury of working for the world's worst manager I have ever encountered in my 44 years on Earth. I also found out 2 former employees quit under her in 2 years because they couldn't stand her micromanagement and erratic behavior. Takeda DOES NOT have 360 degree feedback (you CAN'T give an evaluation on those above you) perhaps if they did, this woman would have been long gone before I started. I also found out this company undergoes a re-org. every year to year and a half and lots of folks this time around were either let go or transferred to a company Takeda does business with. If you want to transfer out of the company, you have to let your manager know that you're posting out. You are then black balled once you do, this rule is asinine! Doesn't make you feel good knowing you may not make the cut every re-org.
