Pros

The insurance is somewhat decent. It’s an animal health company.

Cons

They will work you to the bone and then still demand more. Will lay off people and then expect other people to do the work of three people.

Thanks for giving feedback and great to hear that you like our new office space. We recommend to get in touch with your line manager to discuss what is needed for a promotion and how she/he can support you to achieve it.

A perfect example of faking it 'till you DON'T MAKE IT

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits inherited from parent company prior to divestiture

Cons

An organization plagued by a constant rant about their parent company (Lilly) and how they think they're better (they truly have an inferiority complex). The worst thing is this starts from the very top of the organization. Also, there is a lack of professionalism and accountability throughout the organization; not to mention a lack of direction given that they've gone through 5 Chief Marketing Officers during the last 3 years. If you have experience working for respected organizations, don't expect the same from Elanco if you decide to give this company a try.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You are right that Elanco has spun off from Eli Lilly and it takes time to become a solid, independent company. Moreover, the acquisition of other organizations create further changes that require adaptions and changes of directions. With our vision ‘Food and Companionship Enriching Life’, our IPP strategy and with Racquel Harris Mason, an highly experienced Marketing professional as CMO, we are now moving a clear path forward.
