Great potential but resources and capability do not match the needs of the business

Business Outlook

Pros

Truly innovative company from an R and D perspective, excellent variation in their pipeline that has real potential.

Cons

it is obvious that this company is used to partnering with other companies who have the knowledge to commercialise their drugs as there is hardly any capability internally to commercialise their drugs internally in a competitive manner. additionally there appears to be a mis match between commercial outcomes and the level of investment needed to achieve these outcomes

Shionogi is known for re-alignments and downsizing

Business Outlook

Pros

the vacation time is generous, 20 days to start. There is a lot of freedom that comes with this job. You mostly work independently.

Cons

There is no loyalty at all at this company. It doesn't matter what your performance or tenure is. The current VP of Sales hasn't managed more than 10 people as a District Manager before being promoted. The company is being run by a Consultant Company called DPI. Upper management takes all direction from them. The pay is also low ball vs. other pharma companies.
