Such conservative culture will get you nowhere

Pros

Good portfolio, great colleagues to work with, great hiring manager who fights hard despite the inevitable challenges faced here for the past few years.

Cons

- Turnover rate is high. - Poor training procedures. Colleagues from headquarters just "train" by reading from their powerpoint slides. - Upper management micro managed on finance (increment, bonus... etc.) but they don't manage on initiatives which aren't prioritized to them. - Expect the lack of support from the Japan headquarters, expect prolonged response and delays when you request a simple favor for them - The company talks about making unrealistic goals for the next few years, however, their actions shows otherwise. (I guess that's the main reason why most of the great employees left because nothing gets done here.) - Language is not a barrier if this company wants to be known globally. - As some people had mentioned here, "this is not an environment for experienced employees and joining this company is a career killer." I strongly agree because I am in that situation where I lack so much exposure and waste so much of my time here. Due to my lack of contribution to work (because of the lack of exposure), the increment awarded to me was such an insult. I am happy to have found a job in a much better pharmaceutical company.
