Pros

Offices have a nice view of Sydney harbour.

Cons

Takeda Australia is not a place to thrive. Emotionally turbulent environment currently led by an underperforming GM. Employees are fearful to speak up. Good employees have left. The majority of employees who remain are either looking for other jobs outside of Takeda, or riding out there service until their retirement.
