Daiichi was a great company but has recently had difficulty in the marketplace due to generics and late entry to market. - Anonymous employee Daiichi Sankyo Employee Review

Pros

Strong culture from early days still exists but not to the degree it did in earlier years. New CEO and VP sales may have what it takes to turn the company around. Japanese mother company has big interest in US success.

Cons

Too many old (not age, just tenure) senior level people at the top. They don't have the experience needed to change the organization or the trust needed either. Very competitive market for their new product with a poor pipeline. They have talked about acquisition for many years with no result.
