Pros

nothing positive since the company restructured in 2011

Cons

Staff morale is very low at all levels globally due to staff cuts and overwhelming workload that is very apparent to management but nothing is done about it. The company has lost it's identity and does not value it's staff. The company is top heavy with a lot of decision makers and not enough people willing to do! Processes and systems are in place for staff performance reviews but poor management allows this process to be omitted - for example, I was promised full bonus award by my manager but he never entered anything into the system as required, I was fortunate enough to gain a new opportunity outside Sanofi which started 1 month prior to bonus payment - I was very surprised to hear my manager had scored me lower than we discussed and that he was allowed to state untrue facts about my performance in order to justify it - if the process had been followed then it would have been documented but of course it wasn't - anything for Sanofi to save a few €K!!! Having spent 10 years at the company I have witnessed it's decline - unfortunately this is widespread feeling.

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!
