Pros

Base salary is okay, short-term bonus meets industry criteria but long-term incentives almost non-existing (not listed in the US stock market). So far the company is relatively small in size. Despite several major trial failures, most people (non-marketing) are able to stay.

Cons

The company pipelines are so weak. So far there is only 1 product on the market. The pipelines in development/trial are very weak, to say the least. There are competition between Euorpe-based affiliate, US-affiliate and Japan headquarter. A lot of office politics and rapid changing culture and dynamics. Osaka is still controlling everything without really good knowledge on regulatory and market environment in US and Europe.

Pros

Shionogi has a genuinely supportive culture with strong leadership and approachable senior management. The teams are collaborative, mission-driven, and focused on doing meaningful work that impacts patients. There's a real sense of respect, trust, and flexibility, and leadership encourages professional growth and cross-functional learning.

Cons

As the company continues expanding, some processes are still evolving, which can create occasional ambiguity, but leadership is receptive to feedback and actively improving structure and communication.
