Pros

People honestly want to do a good job. They are a friendly, well educated, and very diverse population. Salary and benefits are above average.

Cons

Don't be fooled by the salary. Bonuses are well below target every year. LTI is only for a preferential inner circle and not based performance or role. Senior management practices top down culture and does not support area leadership. The culture drives more work than is possible and it's punitive when not executed. 12 hour days are expected. Facilities are old, processes even older leading compliance struggles across the board. This is also evident in their global leadership. Site leadership has changed 8 times in 5 years (ops and Quality) leaving a fragmented strategic direction. Constructive dismissal is a common practice.

Terrible Place to Work

Pros

Pay and Benefits. Great cafeteria. Some good people there. Maybe a good place to start but not a place to make a career.

Cons

Poor management. Insecure. Future is very questionable. Americans are expendable to save European jobs. Don't really care about employees in the long room. So much that goes on is smoke and mirrors.

Pros

Employee benefits and paid time off are still among the best in the industry.

Cons

Sanofi US leadership is in shambles for a few years now. Huge restructuring replaced most leadership but time will tell if they can work together effectively. That will be a big undertaking but the prior senior leaders were mostly idiots who were impressed with prior achievements which had little to do with their abilities and more to do with having been at the right place or company at the right time. Paris has reasserted itself and that may not be such a good thing for US in the end.
