Pros
Great working culture and employee benefits. Many opportunities for cross-regional collaboration, which fosters a deep understanding of cross-border operations and legal frameworks. Supportive of work-life balance, with flexible working arrangements in many regions. Takeda invests in innovative therapies and digital transformation, which keeps the work dynamic and aligned with future trends in healthcare.
Cons
Due to the size and structure, decisions, especially cross-functional or cross-regional, can be slow. The company has undergone multiple reorganizations which created some internal uncertainty and change fatigue among teams. In certain roles (e.g., legal or compliance), career progression can feel limited without relocation to another region.
