Was a good place to work but is deteriorating quickly

Business Outlook

Pros

Starting wage is competitive and benefits are decent

Cons

Depending on the site and department you are hired in your experience will be vastly different. Production areas (FIP) are pushed hard and bear the brunt of aggressive schedule demands. 24/7 operations require OT from all three shifts resulting in poor work/life balance for people in these areas. This results in burnout and poor morale. The paycheck keeps you coming back but eventually you reach the point where you question if it's worth the sacrifice you and your family make. All the while other areas operate in a country club environment and ride on, and even hinder, the hard work of the production teams. It really is amazing to see so many benefiting from the effort of so few. Sad.

Potential exists for experienced professionals, not a place for younger employees

Business Outlook

Pros

The workforce is really global is you'll get to work with a lot of European teammates. The commercial side of the business provides great opportunity for building foundations of knowledge that are necessary to go work at a smaller start up biopharma company Salary and benefits are all quite competitive

Cons

Bureaucracy exists at any large company, but at Sanofi it completely paralyzes entire divisions. Nobody seems interested in improving it, and has just given in to the archaic processes/systems in place. Performance development is spoken of but management doesn't follow through. Poor managers are left in positions they shouldn't have and it seems like senior leadership is more interested in doing their best to hide low performers than to address it and try to offer improvement opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Flexible work hours - Good location with parking and close to trains/buses - Great place to work if you’re not looking for a career (constantly employing contractors, as theres no room for head count)

Cons

- Managers can be clueless and lack people skills (never listen or take feedback). Constantly trying to explain processes with incompetent managers becomes unbearable. - Managers lack of self-awareness was too much; shaming and threatening your team to get results is ineffective and is a prime example of how weak managers deal with problems. - People stick to their own ‘groups’ and go out of their way to make others feel unwelcome.
