We understand that working to position our company as a long-term leader in the growing global animal health market can be challenging for employees and leaders. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Our people, our customers and the animals in their care will always remain top priority.

Pros

They have very good benefits and time off available to employees. They have good products that pretty much sell themselves.

Cons

It is a good 3 year job and then move on. My advice to employers is not to hire anyone who has been at Elanco over 5 years as they become very complacent and some degree of arrogance. Elanco tries to be everything to everybody. I know some people who have had to reinterview to keep their jobs 4 times in 5 years.

Frustrating - so much potential, horribly managed

Pros

Good mission, interesting & complex business structure which could allow for good career development and innovating strategies and ideas to improve business functions

Cons

Toxic culture, which starts at the VP level. No recognition for herculean efforts and ridiculous hours. VPs, Senior Directors engage in blame games which demoralizes directors and managers, and creates silos of people who become worried about covering themselves and not collaborating or willingness to help fix the issue.
