Pros

Daiichi Sankyo has a robust product pipeline in the field of oncology, showcasing its commitment to advancing cancer treatment.

Cons

There's no real promotion policy at Daiichi Sankyo Europe. It feels more like a chat show or about pleasing your bosses than about actual merit. Here's the deal: It all boils down to who talks the most. Those who are always yapping seem to climb up faster, even if they're just spouting hot air. This approach seems deeply ingrained in the culture, tailored more for the bosses than the employees. It's as if time has stopped in this company, with a culture that harks back to the last century when bosses were almost god-like. Obedience and submission are required; otherwise, there's no progress. On the other hand, if you're good at buttering up the bosses, you're likely to succeed. The place is teeming with yes-men. There's no room for real discussion, just orders to follow. Very odd for a science-based company to lack questioning or debate over decisions.
