Elanco reviews

Communication and decision making from higher up

Management hopelessly under skilled. For the last couple of years the Vet/Pet team has been managed by an ego maniac. No previous experience in managing people, no coaching of direct reports and when something goes wrong immediately "blame-storms" all and sundry. The acquisition of the Novartis Animal Health business was supposed to be good for all - it really has only been advantageous to those from the Elanco side. Time and time again we have seen good managers forced out - strange, they have mostly been ex Novartis employees. Jeff Simmons (the Global head) runs the place akin to a cult. He is a great self promoter - claims to be a good listener?!
