Pros

Great benefits and vacation time. CEO appears to have the right mindset. They promote work life balance, generous vacation time but can never take it because of workload, timeline and expectations. Vacation cannot be rolled over each year, therefore I loose vacation every year to continue to be a high performer.

Cons

The worst culture imaginable, which is sad and ironic because the Genzyme (acquired by Sanofi was the opposite). At Sanofi you are not a person you are a number. The expectation is unrealistic making a work life balance impossible. Very low salaries for those that are long standing employees. There is no value of the employee or contribution. Constant layoffs, I have seen employees/projects be recognized with the highest level of internal and external recognitions and awards then be laid off the month later. Layoffs are done in rash uneducated manors-with no understanding of their actions. Sanofi is a company built on investors not a mission for improving patients lives. European focus with negative treatment and acceptance of non-EU.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
