      Such Potential--So Exhausted

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice People, Good Margins, and Nice Facilities and Work Spaces. Coworkers genuinely care about each other.

      Cons

      The pace that this company is running is unsustainable and damaging to employees. All day calls, high expectations and no time to get work done unless you are online hours after the work day is over. Due to the Bayer merger and Lilly spinoff, IT systems and processes are a mess! Adds to the exhaustion everyone is feeling.

      Elanco is on the path of becoming a global animal health leader and the acquisition of Bayer was a big part of it. Thanks for sharing your feedback - we strive to demonstrate that we actively listen and respond to feedback from our employees. We have implemented several and are working on a number of new proposals to improve our employee experience (e.g. connect week, meeting free days etc.)

      Pros

      great coworkers, great pay, great benefits, enjoyed the overtime but it was never enough to be discriminated against every day.

      Cons

      Management does not care about its employees. Especially in the lab. I was discriminated against daily and decided that my mental well being was more important. Nothing is worth being treated less than human.

      Pros

      Lilly benefits and pay Highly varied work content Excellent vacation and paid sick time with very flexible working schedule

      Cons

      Prior to the acquisition of Novartis, which was treated like a merger, Elanco had a culture where it didn't matter if you were fresh out of college or had worked with Lilly/Elanco 30yrs and were a Sr. Director, everyone worked side by side and picked up the slack where necessary. You had a significant number of people who had great pride and ownership of their company and their work. After the merger, "command and control" Novartis style management took over and people were forced to play their lane to the extent that you could take a performance rating hit for what used to be the core ideals of the workforce.
