Pros

Great benefits (3 weeks vacation to start) and people you work with. Products are generally market leaders.

Cons

Senior leadership has changed a lot in the past several years and have come from outside the organization. Culture is talked about but it's lip-service. Direction changes frequently and confidence is low as a result. Leadership has unrealistic expectations of the market for the new products and the reality of pharma sales in 2017.

Pros

The focus of the company is to improve patient health and quality of life. The company employs a group of stellar scientists involved in groundbreaking research and all other departments translate the results of the research into a product that will help patients.

Cons

Prior to Sanofi's acquisition of Genzyme Corporation, Genzyme's employees were a "family", a culture that the corporation actively promoted. Employees were inspired and highly motivated to achieve company goals and as such, they were rewarded, not only through salary, but also by stock options. Management was fair, approachable and truly dedicated to helping its employees advance. After Sanofi's acquisition, the "family culture" disappeared. Employees were no longer rewarded with stock options, management was no longer approachable, nor dedicated to helping employees advance. As a result, Sanofi experienced an extremely high attrition in stark contrast to Genzyme's extremely low attrition.
