Pros

Elanco has undergone significant changes in the time I have worked for this company - I feel we have now moved from survival mode to thriving mode. There are many opportunities to feel empowered to make a positive difference - be it initiate a cause: improve a process: mentoring or coaching others for personal and professional growth; actively leading and influencing for better outcomes to make Elanco a great community.

Cons

One does need to actively engage to maximise the opportunities available for making a change.
