Animal Health - If you miss 1995 work here

Pros

Nice benefits. They try to be progressive - on paper. You get lots of days off.

Cons

Where to start? What they say they want and the actions don’t match. A culture of heads down yes people too afraid to actually drive change. Millions spent on every consultant that you can name, while there are position freezes and profit is tanking. Fear rules the day even though they preach AAI, it’s impossible to actually practice it. A couple of token females in management and do not be mistaken - white men awarded with glory and promos for being part of the chummy bro club but failing at their actual job that they’re probably not qualified for in the first place. Women and people of color (none are in management roles) are removed or put into Chief of Staff roles (highly paid admin disguised as a “real opportunity”), or minimized if they don’t fall in line. If you miss the good old days of just doing enough to look like progress while protecting your mid 90s role, and those pesky women and non-Caucasians keeping quiet and staying out of your way ...apply soon!

Place needs a leadership cleanse

Pros

People are committed / pay is competitive / work life balance

Cons

Ok so where do I start with this? The fact that people remain as long as they do in this company is problematic especially as it relates to leadership. Group think is overwhelmingly apparent and to the detriment of the organixation. I have never witnessed a group of leaders as disconnected from reality when it comes to leading particularly during periods of change. Leaders at the most senior levels lack diversity in thought , experience and ethnicity and it shows when it comes to making strategic plans and decisions. They truly do not know and cannot articulate what the competitive landscape offers that BI lacks - disturbing to the highest degree. Basic accomplishments and ideas are seen as earth shattering and innovative. It’s not a place for ambitious talent !!

Pros

You receive a paycheck and benefits.

Cons

No recognition for hard work and/or a job well-done. Favoritism runs rampant here. If you’re a non-PhD, your opinion and expertise do no count. Any form of development is non-existent. Collaboration and team work are an after thought. Promote competition amongst colleagues which fosters negativity. Extremely toxic working environment. High turnover. Management is a complete joke. No communication. Word of advice, stay far far away.
