Pros

Great pipeline Smart coworkers Remote teams New CEO could bring positive changes

Cons

Takeda seems to be unable to define priorities or processes, leaving teams without clear guidance. Coupled with heightened urgency (everything's a priority), the environment has become tense and unpleasant. Lots of time and energy wasted figuring out how to do anything, lots of finger pointing.
