Pros

Sanofi Pasteur offers a great benefits package, 401k contributions (company matches up to 6%), and a nice salary with the opportunity for a lot of overtime.

Cons

Management and mid-level supervisors make sure that the employees are aware they don't trust them to get the job done by constantly checking up on each project. When employees know they're not trusted, they become experts at "presenteeism"—the physical appearance of working, without anything getting done. Management keeps their employees in the dark about important, possibly career-altering changes until the very last minute. Marketable top performers want a seat at the table and won't stand for being left in the dark without the information they need to do their jobs well. You will not advance in the company unless you know someone. Advancement isn't based on job performance, it's based on who you know in this company.

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
