Pros

Great office location. Good benefits package.

Cons

By far the most disorganised company I have worked for. Shambolic induction. Management are fond of highfalutin talk but fail to give clear expectations and direction. Some very unpleasant individuals.

Pros

Holiday entitlement, flexible working hours.

Cons

Everyone who can makes changes are blinkered. I have never heard such moaning within staff, moral is very low. Some working harder than overs. People have lovely chats best part of day while they see colleagues snowed under. If you go for a ciggy break you get to hear all the gossip, just what Takeda thrives on, form receptionist to managers. Everyone trying to put everyone down. Left to get on with it or get out. They don't care turnover is high. Many employees are actually employed by Ashford rather than Takeda themselves. Promotion is not worth chasing as it always has someones name on it. Most people jump quickly. Pay is average for a pharma company.

Need a stronger HR

Pros

Strong pipeline of products. Good company growth and prospect.

Cons

HR and Snr management are too weak or incapable of handling disruptive toxic behaviours, as a result people can't leave fast enough. Individuals who have been with the company for a long time are now becoming extremely territorial towards new talented individuals joining the Company. Very limited career opportunities at Country level. A lot of talk but no action! No transparency with regards to how decisions are taken.
