Easily the worst place I worked - Anonymous employee Astellas Employee Review

The Middle managers and the folks executing projects are misinformed, lack skill but have bloated egos. They seriously have no clue what they want and it is a real mess. My manager was super political and a big backstabbing chap. He and his counterpart were part of a clique of hillbillies who passed snide remarks about people and mocked juniors all the time... and nobody would blink an eyelid. It was terrible, non collaborative, lacked transparency and only favored a few. I have worked with amazing companies in the past so this was such a downer.. Is it Political? Yes Is a backstabbing culture promoted? Yes Collaborative? Not in the least Cliques and Silos? Oh Yes Direction? No - Absolutely not Lack of Trust? Very much so Development? Definitely not - Your manager can set you up for failure
