Pros
This company has some amazing people, though they are leaving very quickly. As ALTANA / Nycomed, it was at one time the premier company in Canada; Amazing culture, super successful brands, strong leadership with an open door policy. The company has never paid well (we aim for 50th percentile), but people stayed for years and it has enjoyed one of the lowest voluntary departure rates in the industry despite that.
Cons
The company recently took out numerous leaders including the previous CEO who was a proven leader with a long history of strong success. New CEO C. Paul is an unbelievable narcissist. He has minimal people skills and has never even made an attempt to meet his employees in the office. He has fired the few great people that remained in the last month. It's amazing this guy has been given a role so clearly not within his skill-set. I am looking for another job pronto. All my coworkers are dying to get out of here too.
