I would advise you to look elsewhere. - Scientist Takeda Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Pros

Location is good, you join into a large network of people when you are laid off because of Millennium's large turnover rate. There are some good scientists, but the baffling decisions made by upper management and the constant course changes and reorganizations makes Millennium a frustrating place to get your work done. They have never developed their own drugs, the only reason they make money is because they bought Velcade from a smaller company. Recently they were purchased by a Japanese company and stopped giving out stock incentives, so don't expect anything beyond salary at Millennium.

Cons

Management is terrible - the worst I've seen in industry.

Pros

Great culture and opportunity to work alongside brilliant people. Work life balance is what you make it. Good opportunity to explore other areas and expand skills.

Cons

Things seem to get bottlenecked and there tends to be unclear expectations and lack of ability to use the skills you develop in new roles. Really hard to move up internally
