Pros

Flexible hours. Can take initiatives. Presentations and meetings, under good bosses, are actually useful rather than useless and boring.

Cons

Percentage of bonuses keep getting cut. Job security has become less stable; and promotion to VP level has been severely curtailed.

Pros

Many divisions and moving from one to another is encouraged for employee development. Sanofi has invested heavily in resources to develop its people, in addition to encouraging experiences in different divisions. There is a deep benefits package. The 401K is very good. Most everything else is average. There are a lot of nice, not great, added benefits. For the most part the products are solid

Cons

The company culture is drowning in all that is "Big Pharma". Loads of bureaucracy, policies and politics. The paranoid, fearful attorneys paralyze the sales force with fear to the point that most people are afraid to send an e-mail. Politics run amok so that it damages the ability to have forthright communication. Creativity and solution oriented thinking are suffocated by the abundance of protocol, politicking, "compliance", and overarching fear. As far as compensation, a couple of divisions are at the high end of average and others, such as diabetes, are at the low end

Pros

The compensation is fair and benefits are good, although they are always cutting back There are opportunities to learn a little from other departments

Cons

There is no opportunity for development and upper management does nothing to retain good talent. The turnover rate is really high and nothing is being done about it. Upper management is out of touch and does not value their employees. Work/ life balance is terrible and tons of overtime is expected in order to proceed every week. Bonuses and raises are dwindling
