I recently received an offer from Novo Nordisk for a U.S.-based role. I’d love to hear people’s perspectives on whether it feels safe to join given the company’s current situation. I’m also curious to learn more about the company culture and benefits from those with firsthand experience.

I just lost my position after just being there for a little over a year. Went through 3 reorgs including hiring pauses, budget cuts non-stop all creating a stressful environment filled with constant uncertainty.
I'm surprised you were hired with the current freeze so I would question their intentions.
As the HR rep I handled terminations which covered shutting down the Seattle office and terming 25 hire level VPs. I'm glad I'm out it was nothing but a huge disappointment.
Everything comes out of Denmark with no top leadership matrixed in the US. They need US leadership to shake up this structure if they want to move forward.
I'm fine.

Did you take the role at Novo Nordisk? How are things

like

I would advise caution before joining at this time. Recent organizational changes have led to significant uncertainty and layoffs, which has impacted morale. Additionally, the corporate culture is very centralized, which some find can hinder agility and decision-making within the American pharmaceutical landscape.

Did Republicans think this through? Are they assuming they’re now powerful enough they can stop the electoral reaction to this? I’m seeing people radicalizing in real time across my social networks. Republicans supporting Biden. Formerly moderate Democrats coming out in favor of court-packing.

Was this all really worth it?

I used to be really bad about not prioritizing my prayer life. But now I pray & talk to God all the time. I’ve seen what prayer does-it can change the trajectory of your life. God tells us to make our prayers & petitions known to Him & to pray without ceasing. What happens when we pray is absolutely incredible.The Holy Spirit within us interprets our groans & our prayers to our advocate Jesus Christ who petitions God the Father on our behalf. The perfect triune God hears my prayers and yours!

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity.

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
