Astellas: From Sugar to Shit

[anonymous]

Astellas was a great place to be. Now it is a toxic cesspool run by outsiders and David Boyd. Boyd couldn’t lead a gaggle of drunken sailors into a whorehouse, but he somehow maneuvered his way through several promotions and ended up as head of sales. What a joke. The old Astellas culture is destroyed and we are just another wannabe big pharma outfit that treats people like shit. Making employees wait almost a month to find out if they have a job is just plain ridiculous. R.I.P. Astellas

And they expect those who survive this week, to regroup on Wednesday like nothing ever happened. Good luck with that. This is going to some time to heal.

We are all underpaid at Astellas, but people have stayed with the company because of the incredible culture. Now that our culture is destroyed, do we get a pay raise?

I left Astellas years ago and went back into small biotech. Such a relief - no one has the time to read every one of my emails looking for possible compliance mistakes and I can do my job without fearing that one of my colleagues is going to stab me in the back. Astella's culture was nasty, hyper-competitive and stressful. You can do better - The grass really can be greener on the other side. Good luck!
