Mixed feelings.

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office vibe, good people, great portfolio.

Cons

It’s really hard to get things done internally. There is little accountability and ownership of timelines. As a result it is ‚nice people’ who are considered good not the employees who really get things done. Political and not very focused on learning. Settled and rigid even though management try to implement massive changes to get things done faster. Too much focus on blaming vendors without taking responsibility and ownership for the internal mess.

Business Outlook

Pros

Substantial resources Good reputation among physicians Opportunities for development Adept at identifying takeover targets

Cons

Extremely political work environment. Truth is a negotiable concept. Upper management are very disconnected from the realities of the business. R&D has had very limited success in Europe (luckily Genentech & Chugai are effective).
