Business Outlook

Pros

- Globally the organization is very strong in Strategy, People & Operations - Global wanted to drive things without compromising values - Great learning opportunity who wants to grow, should be self starter - You look for it you have resources at every corner - Indian affiliate was strong with legacy Elanco team, Value compromised merged entity diluted the culture - Indian Affiliate has some good people

Cons

- Compromise at many levels including the top management - Many things are hidden as part of the vested self-interest - Globally bureaucratic slow pace organization - HR has a timid voice so many employee benefits for the wrong candidates - Indian Affiliate is running for short term but globally there is a great vision
