Pros

I have heard that the people are very good, good pay, great benefits.

Cons

I’m bringing attention to a very disturbing experience I had when I was asked to apply to a position with Sanofi. Before I could submit my online application, I was forced to enter my DOB. This is in clear violation. I have no doubt that I was not called because of my age. There was something even worse: two questions ask potential employees what they’re sexual orientation is. What?! What is it any business of Sanofi to ask these questions?! What does it even matter? The application process was vile and intrusive.

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.
