Pros

Benefits are nice, but a highly political environment in HR and leadership is not supportive. Whispers turn into rumors and assumptions become facts, ultimately derailing careers. Do not recommend this as a positive work environment. Dreaded going into work and everyone is afraid that their job could be eliminated. Run.

Cons

Pipeline is not strong, overspending is common for this small pharma company, decisions are made in Japan and can frustrate US employees, and the corporate politics make working here miserable.
