Pros

The parking lot is amazing. Since the parking lot bears little to no weight outside the hours of 9 am to 4 pm, the concrete and black top stay in amazing condition. No stress cracks or other signs of wear. The State Department of Transportation should use Takeda's parking lot as the baseline in their studies of vehicle weight impacts to highways and other roadways. The pond is not overcrowded with watercraft. Very easy to step away from your desk, take your personal watercraft out to the pond, and find a relaxing spot to sunbathe, read, or do something else to pass the day before you head home.

Cons

Co-workers never answer questions, they point the finger at someone else to answer. Co-workers never provide any requested items, they point the finger at someone else to provide. Co-workers outsource their responsibilities to a vendor/supplier and act like they do the work, creating an unneeded middle person in the process to get something done. No process or activity is allowed to change. Making recommendations to change a process or activity is frowned upon. Leaving your car on the parking lot after 4 pm is frowned upon, as the parking lots shift ends at 4 pm. Getting promoted is all about nepotism. Great performers are passed over for poor performers because the only thing that matters for promotions and performance ratings is nepotism. Social Security will be doubling each Takeda employee's retirement welfare payments. Social Security is in fiscal trouble and employees of Takeda don't deserve any Social Security benefits as a Takeda paycheck is welfare since no one does any work.

Pros

Great Benefits, it is world class!

Cons

HR is not supportive when requiring help. People abuse the short term disability and nothing is done. The site head is abusive and denigrates people in public making them cry. The environment is toxic and political. People only care about getting product out the door. There is .no regard for people. All the right buzz words like psychological safety and respect are written everywhere, just rarely practiced. If poor management behavior is confronted, you will be terminated.
