A lot of change as we grow but rooted in culture and great people

Business Outlook

Pros

I have been with Elanco for 13 years and we have grown like crazy. In that time I believe that we have made the business better and stayed true to our culture and values. What I appreciate most is our people who care for the industry we represent and for each other. Some of my closest friends work at this company. This culture stays strong because our leaders focus on their people, customers and causes.

Cons

With so much change and growth it can take a minute for the new leaders to adjust to the business and culture.

Pros

Elanco will be the #2 animal health company in the industry, and the pros are: - Working for a company that is on the rise to the top - Employees are empowered to speak up with ideas and shape the future - Recent talent hired, combined with the fantastic legacy of people, has been a great combination for building a powerhouse of a company - They care about your development and will give you opportunities in several areas, if you speak up. - They have facilitated several high-quality, vulnerable discussions on race and unconscious bias that have made everyone immediately operate in more inclusive ways - They are flexible with family, particularly during the pandemic and working from home - They give you a winter, and a summer, shutdown time. No coming back to hundreds of emails because everyone is off work simultaneously.

Cons

- FAST paced. I find this to be a good thing, not everyone does.
