worse. You're only hearing from the more vocal ones.

A lot depends on you manager, but you can’t escape the corporate reach.

Read Glassdoor reviews and Yahoo Finance conversations before joining.

That way you know what you are in for. It won’t last forever given the horrible stock performance, but it has lasted much longer than any of us thought!

Hematology is in the rare disease area of Shire so it will be much better than the pharma side. Lots of competition coming out in 2018. So don't expect to blow out your numbers

if you need a job then sure take it, if you have other opportunities elsewhere I would stay away from Shire. Most are looking that are here and just waiting for the right opportunity.

Seriously, unless you and your family are hungry, keep looking

Before joining, talk to the HR recruiter and tell them that you've heard about an email from "Big Ben" and ask what it is and if you could get a copy. See how they react and observe what Shire thinks of its people.

Takeda has told its people today during a town hall webex that it will be hiring an expansion force soon. I would put my resume in with them. We will be cut extensively across the board.

I agree, Glassdoor gives very true & honest reviews about Shire. If you are considering taking the offer, read Glassdoor, then make your decision. Keep in mind when you see
the negative posts about them being short handed in the corporate office, it has a big impact on us in the field.

Ok... so I reached out to this "Ben" on LinkedIn based off the info on cafepharma. I thought he would be wearing a mask and a cape in his profile pic. Lol. I explained i was interviewing with Shire and asked for feedback. So anyways he replies back simply stating he had a great 10 years at Shire and that he doesn't work there anymore so he would not be the best individual to get information about the company on???? Ok...

Ben spelled it out in his resignation letter... If you can't figure it out then you aren't that smart and would be a perfect fit in a leadership position at Shire.
