Glad to hear that you like our work-life-balance, compensation and our great community of people. We understand that IT issues can be frustrating and that it takes time to stabilize systems and set up workflows after the large Elanco/Bayer acquisition. We appreciate all colleagues who go the extra mile to make our vision of “Food and Companionship Enriching Life” come to life. Thanks for sharing your experience.
