CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance, good resources and talented colleagues. Trust between management and employees are good. Very transparent in communicating changes and what's happening in the industry.

Cons

Maybe true to all big companies, some times it involves several departments to address one issue that could be well addressed by a single department. This makes you feel efficiency needs to be improved.

Pros

The scinece has high quality and standards. Good benefit structure. Good focus on overall corporate wellbeing, employee teambuilding etc.

Cons

Upper managment in Basel is disconnected from the strategy in Palo Alto. Hence the site is getting the short end of the stick - as was evidend with the decision to close it and dispand two well established and qualified therapy areas.
