Elanco - A Great Place to Live and Work

Regional sales manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Elanco has a laser-like focus on ensuring that its people are satisfied and content in their jobs. Elanco is serious about promoting a work-life balance. Elanco trusts me to get on with my work and do my job. I don't feel like I am over managed and enjoy every day at work.

Cons

Being a long way from our USA parent can make me feel that the focus is not on us sometimes with respect to product pipeline for certain animal groups. Good managers make up for this with regular updates and information that may be USA-centric but positive at the same time.

Lot of opportunity, space for growth and improvements on current processes, procedures, workflows and etc. Recognition to those who really deliver results

Lot of work to be done to reach the goal of Elanco and unfortunately not many resources available, which make the current resources feel overwelming.
