Sanofi reviews

There was a change in leadership over two years ago and since then, the CHC division has gone downhill. The leadership is bullish, lacks care for people or strategy. Top talent have left and others are looking to leave. There is a lack of understanding of an FMCG business now and while sales are good, the team are miserable and have turned on each other. The people who are left are trying to do their best but lack guidance and are petrified of making a decision. Unless you are a sycophant you are unlikely to survive.

The company has gotten way too big after the Sanofi acquisition of Genzyme. There have been way too many reorgs and layoffs. Legacy Genzyme employees have held on to managerial and senior positions with their claws even though they may not be qualified to embrace them. This has caused a lot of politics and territorial behavior that make collaboration a challenge. They are not so good with hiring new and young talent. Promotions are a challenge to get. You need to become friends with a certain group and belong to certain demographic to get promoted. Also salary increases are not very generous. If you are a trained professional in CBAP, Scrum master, PMP methodologies this will be a very boring place for you to work at.
