Pros

Great to be working at the forefront of exciting technologies- one of the things that Otsuka does really well is look forward & plan for what is at the cusp in terms of emerging and potentially industry-changing technologies. Work/life balance and culture isn't sacrificed for this, though, and I've found that team members are very cognizant and aware of workloads & adjust accordingly. Makes for a very dynamic yet friendly/open culture. Overall great place to work.

Cons

A lot of the work is done 'confidentially' which is an unavoidable part of certain business dealings, but I've found that this has bled into other parts of work and can lead to lack of transparency in work and communication

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.
