It was a quick tumble down from one of the best places to work, to a bureaucratic creativity killer.

Pros

Benefits are the only thing that remains as a plus. 401K match is superb, vacation time is generous and salary is on par. Health benefits are reasonable, but costs have significantly gone up. This, however is occurring everywhere.

Cons

Since the Sanofi took over the culture of Genzyme has disappeared. Genzyme used to be a place of great collaboration and creative thinking, alas that is all but gone. There are pockets left, but most of the best and brightest have found new homes. Sanofi destroyed this emerald of biotech. Data generated in research, poorly over seen and much of it may be over interpreted or wrong.

Sanofi-US - Genzyme it ain't!

Director

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good - 1.5X match on 401k and EU vacation scale. Management in US tries to establish a level of independence but being a French citizen is required.

Cons

Sanofi is no Genzyme - US is micromanaged from France so getting anything done is impossible - decent benefits but crappy salary. ESOP with a 5 year holding period was laughable. The claims of poor sales or product launch expenses come every year as the reason for below inflation raises.

I miss Genzyme

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Very talented people.

Cons

I really do miss Genzyme - they actually cared about their employees and helped them grow. Sanofi views employees as numbers and if you want to get ahead - you really have to kiss up. They don't allow their employees dignity and respect. There is a lot of internal bullying and harassment. The Sanofi managers are intimidating and they do not respect people. There are a lot of extremely talented people that work for this company - they need to be treated better.
