Pros

My coworkers are pretty great. Benefits are good, with the exception of bonuses.

Cons

I really didn't think it would get as bad as it has. Not only has the Sanofi acquisition resulted in "LEAN" manufacturing by attrition, the treatment of employees in roles without which the company wouldn't exist has become downright disrespectful. Word has spread that the environment becomes increasingly toxic as one goes up the ladder, and evidence has (fleetingly) surfaced that the Wal-Mart-like raises (read: lack of) for even the best employees are being skimmed off to line the pockets of managers and directors. Let's put it this way: I was insulted by the number shown to me at my review this year, but after learning what I have about too many others, I'm almost grateful. It's not a business anymore; it's the marriage of a ponzi scheme and a labor camp. Morale has tanked. Every work day, to my dismay, I learn how much worse it was than I thought. I would warn you about seeking employment here, but the last couple years has shown me they don't plan on hiring anyway.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
