Relatively informal, open organization, opportunities to experiment, very political environment, conservative marketing.

Business Outlook

Pros

It is quite easy to go over organizational boundaries and hierarchical lines, as well as taking initiatives beyond one's formal job description. New CEO very charismatic, but his inspiring, it would be great if this new style could trickle down through the company.

Cons

Time spent on organizational politics far exceeds that of getting the job done. Pharma and diagnostics completely independent divisions. Scientific and financial background with a very conservative marketing culture. Freedom to experiment but no desire to change, largely fueled by portfolio success. Mix of traditionally decentralized organization and recentralization of a number of function, creating some confusion, compounded by a clash of culture with Genentech's.
