Significant cultural issues within tax team

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company, fascinating growth opportunities, good culture with the company overall, just pockets of problematic culture. Amazing benefits. Some fantastic individuals on the tax team with unbelievable technical knowledge.

Cons

Unfortunately the tax department is probably the most dysfunctional group in the entire company. HR has had multiple individuals raise flags of inappropriate and unethical behavior and no serious action is taken. Within the last year, there has been 60% turnover globally, mostly isolated to US cultural issues driving this number, with over 80% turnover in a single year. One person actually left in less than a month. Additionally, HR based overseas will partake in bad faith salary negotiations, including lying about max pay and offer no remedy to correct this.

Paid time off 401k Company truck

Cons

Executive leadership is terrible. Would let the good ones go and keep the bad. Hiring leaders with no animal health experience. People leaving the company in droves.

Great culture and company. Low pay.

Pros

The people and culture are great. I really like the people within the organization. Strong belief in work life balance. I like their concern, sensitivity and acknowledgment to social and global issues, and that they try to find ways to support them. You can speak up without fear of retaliation. Management listens to the employees and tried to find ways to make improvements. There is room to grow and they prefer to promote from within the organization. Benefits are good. In terms of corporate culture it’s the best places I’ve ever worked.

Cons

The compensation is really low. Well below average. It is something they are looking to improve. They do not account for cost of living. A lot of people have left in the last year due to low pay. I do still see gender pay gap discrepancies. Marketing is very out of touch with the sales force and what’s going on in the field. Sales requirements change every year, which is frustrating. You’ll spend more time ticking a box to appease investors than you will actually selling something.
