About as good of a place to work as you'll find

Manager, market research

Business Outlook

Pros

Terrific people first culture. US seen as the global growth engine for Daiichi Sankyo. US commercial operations are small enough to feel like a large family, but large enough to provide multiple opportunities for career development. Daiichi Sankyo actually follows through on its promises. Bureaucratic nonsense is kept to a minimum.

Cons

High accountability. Many job functions are performed by a single person. You either perform, and its recognized, or you don't and are held accountable. No hiding out here.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company size. It's smaller therfore the opportunity is greater. I have worked for larger companies and it seems like you are competing against a larger pool of people. Also, there is more room for politics.

Cons

Not as well known as some of our competitors. I feel as though people tend to listen more when they know where you are from. We are still making our mark.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good stepping stone company to get into pharmaceutical industry. Company has a good pipeline and continues to expand.

Cons

No room for advancement. No other divisions or specialties. Local management is questionable. Doesn't motivate well, currently does it through fear and intimidation.
