Pros

People are by far the best thing about Genzyme. Smart, motivated, caring, and collaborative.

Cons

Salaries seem to be on the low end of the spectrum and there isn't a stock purchase program. At my level, stock shares/RSU's are awarded. Now that Genzyme is part of Sanofi, there is also a lot more red tape and bureaucracy to deal with

Poor Management

Pros

nothing positive since the company restructured in 2011

Cons

Staff morale is very low at all levels globally due to staff cuts and overwhelming workload that is very apparent to management but nothing is done about it. The company has lost it's identity and does not value it's staff. The company is top heavy with a lot of decision makers and not enough people willing to do! Processes and systems are in place for staff performance reviews but poor management allows this process to be omitted - for example, I was promised full bonus award by my manager but he never entered anything into the system as required, I was fortunate enough to gain a new opportunity outside Sanofi which started 1 month prior to bonus payment - I was very surprised to hear my manager had scored me lower than we discussed and that he was allowed to state untrue facts about my performance in order to justify it - if the process had been followed then it would have been documented but of course it wasn't - anything for Sanofi to save a few €K!!! Having spent 10 years at the company I have witnessed it's decline - unfortunately this is widespread feeling.

Pros

The local leadership and field matrix teams are engaged. We had a common goal-to improve the care of patients by collectively solving problems and building a strong competitive value proposition.

Cons

In last round of layoffs corporate leadership demonstrated their lack of commitment to building solid and unique value propositions regarding the company and products by prematurely eliminating the population health positions.
