Pros

Good vacation if you stay long enough, company shut down for Christmas. Good benefits.

Cons

Fire drill after fire drill. 3 leaders of diabetes division in 3 years. Reorg every year (no kidding)., usually around Christmas time. Sales management obsessed with metrics and dinners. Toxic environment for reps. Managers are free to set their own benchmarks regardless of what the company expects. In order to get a good rating you need to become a clone of your boss. Every time you get a new boss you have to start all over. Management very short term driven. If you have a bad week they persecute you. People don't know where company is headed. I do not know one rep who is happy working here. Last 3 years has been a storm of confusion, conflicting directives. Stay away

Pros

Benefits are competitive, but at the expense of pay, raises, and bonuses--all of which compare poorly to industry norm's (try bottom 25%)

Cons

Sanofi-Genzyme is a worst case, plodding big-pharma mess. The thought that Genzyme could be the kernel around which a biotech leader could be built is laughable—by industry standards Genzyme is ancient history. More troubling is a low performing culture, no incentives, no motivation, and truly horrible management. There are forms and processes galore but no real adherence to the processes, nor to ethical standards— even common sense and common decency have left the building. The only thing good about employment here is it affords you time to actively search for another job.

Pros

You learn a lot in genzyme - good first job to have, co-workers are generally very nice people to work with

Cons

Managers do not care about employees, work them to the bone and over-time is a constant occurrence. High rate of employee turnover
