      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits Indy is a good place with lots to do and affordable cost of living No patent expirations that lead to significant revenue loss (unlike pharma companies) Friendly people

      Cons

      Mediocrity accepted Focus on just trying hard as opposed to delivering results Conservative values Lack of courage and creativity. Market follower, not leaders Good ole boy network (white males) rules Poor career management support and succession management, even for those considered "high potential" Americans are not given career opportunities. Must be from Germany or Germanic country (Switzerland, Austria, etc.)

      Relatively informal, open organization, opportunities to experiment, very political environment, conservative marketing.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is quite easy to go over organizational boundaries and hierarchical lines, as well as taking initiatives beyond one's formal job description. New CEO very charismatic, but his inspiring, it would be great if this new style could trickle down through the company.

      Cons

      Time spent on organizational politics far exceeds that of getting the job done. Pharma and diagnostics completely independent divisions. Scientific and financial background with a very conservative marketing culture. Freedom to experiment but no desire to change, largely fueled by portfolio success. Mix of traditionally decentralized organization and recentralization of a number of function, creating some confusion, compounded by a clash of culture with Genentech's.
