Pros

Great site with exciting prospects. The development department is expanding with new projects coming through all the time.

Cons

Lots of employees are employed long term as contract workers. Job security is a worry. However, good employee retention once made permanent.

Pros

Has a broad product portfolio within the animal health industry. You will be incredibly well trained which will set you up for inevitable success in other companies.

Cons

Evangelical, self-serving and cult-like approach to leadership does not respond well to dissenting voices or diverse ideas. To do well in your career at Elanco, you need to drink the Elanco kool-aid and speak the Elanco sound bites. Despite being a global company they are completely US-centric. Elanco does not live by its published corporate values.

Pros

Right now, I can't think of any, other than it's a pretty good job in a tough market.

Cons

For a company apparently run by devout Christians to announce that hundreds of roles are being *eliminated* (yes they used that word) two weeks before Christmas is surely sociopathic behaviour.
