Good benefits, but leadership and collaboration gaps impact the work environment

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary, benefits, and diverse cultures.

Cons

People manager roles are held by individuals without strong people-management skills, which limits collaboration and shared ownership across teams. Gaps in workflow design, resourcing, and process ownership regularly create avoidable issues, yet accountability is often placed on individual contributors rather than addressing root operational causes. Feedback tends to be reactive and corrective rather than constructive, with limited effort to improve underlying systems, foster collaboration, or provide meaningful coaching. This contributes to frustration, instability, burnout, and a culture of blame rather than continuous improvement. Company-wide work–life balance initiatives are further undermined at the line-manager level, reducing their effectiveness in practice.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture, strong leadership, exceptional product pipeline with strong presence in industry (read for yourself!), flexible in-office policy, company focus on wellbeing and great benefits, colleagues have a passion for serving patients as we've all been impacted by cancer in some way, management listens to employee feedback and takes action each year following Global Engagement Survey, tons of learning and development opportunities, recognition for work being done within teams

Cons

Some Japanense colleagues go through rotations so they don't always have the right skills or capabilities, early morning or evening calls due to time difference (but not for all roles), lack of streamlined work flows but that is being addressed
