Pros

Good salary and other benefits.

Cons

There used to be amazing and highly skilled people working there, but most of them have left the company or were fired without good reason in the last 6 months. A clear sign that something is going wrong. A culture of badmouthing other people on their backs is cultivated and encouraged by management. Appearances can easily cheat you. People are very friendly and polite to your face, but do not mistake yourself, there's no reliable teamwork at this place. Most of the people who are left there are ambitious and don't hesitate on using others as stepping stones on their ways up. Regarding products, there are few and non relevant projects on the pipeline. And taking by the latest happenings and strategic directions, it won't happen anytime soon. Finally, talking about management, the left ones have no idea of what it means to manage people and it seems that they don't care about it at all.

Pros

LEO Innovation Lab is an great place to work. There are plenty of opportunity to grow and be part of driving meaningful projects for patients and doctors. The corporate startup environment encourages employees to drive the projects at it was their own startups and expects the managers to be the experts in their field therefore lots of autonomy. This combined with an incredible support system of compliance, legal, medical and a global BD team, gives the projects a high likelihood of success. There is a very open culture and everyone is eager to talk across projects and learn from each other. Water cooler talk (or coffee) can lead to super inspiring talks. Nothing is spared on the social events, and there is even a chef preparing lunch every day.

Cons

Building a corporate innovation lab is a difficult task, and there has been many changes on the way, where transparency on decisions is key for people’s engagement and ownership. LEO Pharma as an owner has plenty of knowledge to benefit from, which could be exploited further.
