Doesn’t live up to values - Director Jazz Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Pros

Decent pay and great benefits, flexible working, travel, some interesting products

Cons

Doesn’t really live up to values constantly talked about - with lack of transparency, poor and inconsistent leadership, low morale, lots of uncertainty, failure to respond to feedback etc. Constant redundancy rounds (min 1 full around per year, lots of additional) and reshuffles create low job security. Lofty financial ambitions (Vision 2025) but lack business acumen and right people to get anywhere near delivering them = share value consistently low. Some great people and pockets of excellence, but constant failure to recognise this and ensure right people retained and promoted. Excessively US centric with ex-US region constantly facing cuts and lacking resource to deliver growth. HR very hit and miss. No prospects for career progression in the majority of areas.

Pros

Benefits - that's it. That's why they lay off employees receiving benefits and replacing them with low paying contractors from other countries outside the US.

Cons

Always laying off; they aquire other companies or formulations and then have layoffs consistantly a few times a year. They are very heavy on laying off long standing employees and replacing them with cheap labor contractors from countries like Poland and Romania because those people accept lower wages. Jazz is all about money - bottom line - no matter what that they claim they do this for patients.
