Going nowhere. Fast.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and the bonus is nice.

Cons

Jobs for management's friends as opposed to those best qualified. For a global company, it operates in a very parochial manner. The opportunities for personal or professional development are non existant.

Pros

The benefits and compensation package

Cons

Management is resistant to new ideas; depth of expertise, hard work ,and loyalty are not recognized or rewarded; age and gender discrimination; only those that "toe the party line" are promoted; and no top-down transparency.

More than 20 years with Elanco – wow! We are sorry to hear that you feel that your hard work and loyalty has not been recognized enough. While we have systems in place that encourage top down and horizontal recognition, we also hope to create an environment where concerns can be voiced openly. Thank you for your tenure of making life better for animals, helping us to become a leader in animal health!

Good place to work but a little disorganized at times

Business Outlook

Pros

People tend to be very passionate especially about animals. Very diverse workforce from around the world.

Cons

There seems to be a lot of disorganization. Elanco relies heavily on 3rd party support to run major projects and sometimes the different 3rd parties do not work well together.

Thank you for your feedback and advice to management. We do agree – we are a global enterprise of people with passion! We know that the work we do to make life better for animals, makes life better. We will pass it on your comments and encourage you to speak with your supervisor about your advice as well.
