Pros
- Office is pretty nice - Work/life balance is mostly good - There are a few dynamic leaders who are really making things happen. Get with one of them and you'll be fine - as long as they stay.
Cons
- Touts "innovation" but most (not all) parts of the organization are too conservative to actually do real innovation. - Parts of the organization are very "cliquey" and if you're not one of that senior leader's group of insiders you can pretty much forget getting very far. - Culture of company is bizarre and driven by Japanese HQ, less so since previous CEO passed away on a business trip at a young age but still rather bizarre. Head of HR personally told me it takes two years to really understand the company. - Pipeline of new products is suspect even though senior leadership constantly talks about how "robust" it is. - Company is struggling to regain its groove since Abilify patent expiration. Budgets have been slashed, first layoffs in company history in 2016. 2017 is expected to be the "trough" year before things move back into growth but that depends on the pipeline, mentioned above. - HR is pretty clueless and reactive for the most part.
