Toxic and Stifling

Pros

I believe CEO/COO intend to have a great place to work and there may be isolated areas where that is occuring

Cons

Very toxic leadership below EC level. Literally millions of dollars of man hours wasted on processes that go nowhere and impede progress just to appease a few VPs who are afraid of accountability- theirs or anyone else’s- and need to assert themselves across departments. Company spends millions on decision making training, yet misses the fact that it is a few leaders who broadly disempower most of the organization that is the problem- teams know how to make decisions and prepare options. Any teams level decisions are constantly overridden solely due to hierarchical precedence by said group above. As a result, takes three times as long to do anything at Jazz than the biggest pharmas. Chaos reigns and value is destroyed.

Political with lots of backstabbing

Pros

Interesting products, great benefits, very smart colleagues The company has products that do help patients and that's the best part about coming to work.

Cons

Highly political, very much who you know and not based on merit Tough environment that is overshadowed by lots of factions and power dynamics. Managers are unsupportive and have no problems throwing their staff under the bus both overtly and covertly.

Big pharma culture. The sleep unit is the worst.
