Business Outlook
Pros
Superior benefits:150% match on 6% contributions to 401K, very generous vacation package, environmentally conscious, new clean lab space, salaries aligned with other big pharma, on site Occupational Health building, good bonuses. The people who work there are top notch and the main reason I have stayed there 15 years.
Cons
The tendrils of the big pharma bureaucracy by Sanofi has undermined the culture of Genzyme, salary increases are meager (<2%), reduction in work force without replacements. A recent confusing layoff let go several very talented and people with purported influx of contracted staff as future replacements. The future of R&D has not been communicated leaving the staff feeling vulnerable.
