Pros

Other than location I can think of any pros of working at sanofi pasteur. Most of the work force appears to be unhappy. Even if you're the kind of person that can "leave it at the office" each day is grinding and more depressing than the next.

Cons

-Working "smart" is not encouraged. Often short term superficial benefits that undercut longer term stability and goals are over looked simply for the sake of perception. The extra work that is generated from poor decisions is often taken care of in the form of unpaid over time. -Much of management seems more interested in fulfilling personal agendas than doing what is right for the business and their respective departments. -Interdepartmental squabbling that propels the term "office politics" into the the territory of a poorly written sitcom. -The company takes a lot from you and gives very little. -Before working here I never really understood the term micro management. Employees of all levels are not trusted to make basic decisions.

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.
