Because vaccines sell so well, Sanofi Pasteur, and especially its management, has become very complacent.

Pros

It's nice to know you're making vaccines that have real medicinal value. 9+ weeks of vacation in France, good pay, nice location (Lyon), somewhat international company.

Cons

Dysfunctional support functions (such as IT and HR). Smug attitude of many employees and many people pretending to be busy when they are not. Real problem with useless time-consuming meetings.
