Pros

A few dedicated district managers trying to keep things together in a dismal and lackluster sales force.

Cons

Since the demise of Abilify, Otsuka is dying a slow and painful death. With no real pipeline and a boated and overloaded Neurology sales force, things are looking bleak indeed. Senior management is in way over their heads and collectively speaking, do not have a clue on how to manage a specialty sales force. Forcing culture onto a sales force that has no motivation and is paid a pittance for their efforts is a lost cause. If you keep promoting sycophants and rewarding the politically connected people, rather than the hard working people that are actually pulling their weight, you will continue to lose more and more qualified people.

Pros

I've been a full-time employee for about three months after converting to an FTE role, and I don't regret the decision one bit. The company culture is outstanding, and it's clear that leadership genuinely cares about the success and development of its employees. There are plenty of opportunities for learning, growth, and career advancement. The people are supportive, collaborative, and invested in helping one another succeed. It's a place where you feel valued and encouraged to do your best work.

Cons

The company has been somewhat slower than some competitors in embracing AI and driving AI-related innovation, although meaningful progress is being made. Change can also take time, particularly among more tenured employees who are accustomed to established ways of working. That said, the growing mix of experienced employees and newer talent is helping accelerate positive change and bring fresh perspectives.
