Pros

Good resume builder since everyday is a firedrill, there's lots of opportunity for learning. Benefits are ok.

Cons

Everything else. Everyday is a firedrill. The company is too driven by the desire to be at the top as quickly as possible. Employees are burnt out from the constant acquisitions, while still trying to develop the company infrastructure. With everyone in management being former Lilly- favorites are played and those are the ones that get the most opportunity for advancement regardless of experience and pure knowledge. There is zero compassion or empathy for employees well being and the engagement surveys show that; with extremely low percentages that are only dropping by the quarter. However, instead of taking accountability and making changes, leadership creates excuses and makes false promises. Also, the layoff of hundreds of employees after busting their butts all year right before the holiday was the tip of the iceberg and D&I is a joke.

Pros

There is nothing about Elanco at this point that would ever make me recommend it to anyone

Cons

-Awful awful culture -Executive team that is under qualified and comically embarrassing -Horrible support functions like procurement and legal and IT, completely clueless -ongoing layoffs, even though the CEO and CHRO will promise no more, even eliminating roles they just hired a few months before -A lot of super questionable directives given by management -Shady and defensive leaders

Pros

Generous vacation, if your manager will allow you to take it

Cons

Works low level employees to exhaustion without compensation, keeps hiring new managers who are not a cultural fit nor have any business being apart of management. If you come to Elanco note this will be a short-term career as the company has no intentions of changing nor do they care about you or your successes. No career progression plan to develop the future of the company, dead company with over paid management.
