What do you like about working at Takeda Pharmaceutical?

I also really got involved in the scientific aspect of knowing my product and all competition. I loved knowing the studies and package inserts inside and out."
What don't you like about working at Takeda Pharmaceutical?
"My direct district manager was horrible to work with. He was accused of sexual harassment by various employees several times (and I can understand why). He was verbally abusive and manipulative in the way he dealt with his employees. There were so many complaints about him that I have no idea how he kept his job there, except he had a couple connections to top management. Finally, he ended up being arrested and thrown in jail for illegal drug production, dealing and use."

What do you like about working at PDI?
"My 6 years at PDI were nothing but positive! I had 1 manager that was an Old School pain but I must say he was competent and had the background necessary to coach and manage. I made great friends at PDI and we still all keep in touch. I also keep in touch with some of my previous Managers."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"I happen to think it was a great company when I worked there 2000-2006 and I would go back in a heart beat if I didn't love my current Pharma job so much. Interview, be positive, and know that contract is probably going to re-surge as the way of the future with all the Pharma downsizing going on. Companies still need a voice!"
What don't you like about working at PDI?
"You never knew when the contracts would end and you would be unemployed but the reality now is that you have the same worries with direct pharma sales!Lower bonus structure due to being contract. Hated having roommates during training.It was already stressful without having to live with a person for 2 wks that you didn't even know."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"If it ain't broke don't fix it. Go back to how you used to operate! Family/Life balance, great vacation time based on yrs of working with company, good benefits. HR used to show a blind eye towards some management issues but I believe their old working model WORKED! Don't cast off previous employees if they were good! They tend to be a bit stubborn about that."

"Corporate losing touch with value of front-line sales reps."
