Pros

There are a handful of truly wonderful people at Eisai, mentors, and leaders are few and far between. Your job satisfaction will truly depend on your ability to see past the fog and choose the right business unit to work for. There are many "wolves in sheep clothing" who will scapegoat their teams rather than take ownership of their own leadership shortcomings.

Cons

Unfortunately, this company is not even close to what it used to be. Management is menacing and relies on threatening and criticizing employees output levels when over the last 7 years, all employees have been doing is working harder with less and fewer resources all the time. Management misleads employees all the time to paint a difficult but still hopeful business situation. Employee morale is beyond low, and those paying attention know the true writing on the wall. Middle managers are not looking to strengthen and build the ranks, to ensure proper training and resources to enable employees to succeed. A manager is not free to make their own decisions on their accounts, instead, you must anticipate and basically be an information scavenger to be able to manage just the basics. Every aspect of your job will be dictated by a ladder-climbing supervisor whose sole purpose is to secure their own survival and their view of proper account management is basically doing everything to promote their agenda, not what is best to manage business partner relationships to build trust and alignment. Partnership deals are only entered into for the sole purpose of finding a quick way to exit the partnership once the deal is signed, regardless of explicit guidelines and performance based project tracking.

Pros

Good salary and benefits, ethical company in all aspects

Cons

No portfolio and no hope for one in the near future. Too many people doing too little work, so micromanaging and minutiae rule the day. Nothing planned is ever executed because there is no budget to do so, and the cycle repeats of discuss, replan, reproject but no action.
