Pros

There is nothing good about this company. If considering employment at Otsuka, re-consider. It would be better to remain where you are, even if unemployed. Worst place I've ever been and I have been in pharma for over twelve years at three other companies.

Cons

Leadership lacks integrity. Leadership is incompetent and dishonest. The company prefers to work with smoke and mirrors. They have lied to regulatory authorities, as well as business partners and employees. Regarding employee recruitment, the lines that they give you are somewhat enticing, but are far from the truth. Some may call this a "bait and switch", but in legal terms, it may be considered fraud/fraud in the inducement.

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.
