Pros

Other than ability to work from home none.

Cons

Very siloed, ever changing direction, clueless leaders, empty visions and promises. And layoff after layoff cycle that does not seem to have end in sight.

Business Outlook

Pros

Generous vacation, if your manager will allow you to take it

Cons

Works low level employees to exhaustion without compensation, keeps hiring new managers who are not a cultural fit nor have any business being apart of management. If you come to Elanco note this will be a short-term career as the company has no intentions of changing nor do they care about you or your successes. No career progression plan to develop the future of the company, dead company with over paid management.
