Pros

None. Flaming pile of crap waiting to be bought out and parceled off.

Cons

Negative profits in the foreseeable future. Headcount cuts are the way the company manages poor quarterly results.

We recognize that each person has a different experience during their time at Elanco. While we’ve been on a multi-year transformation journey of standup and integration, we are now entering an exciting era of innovation and growth. Elanco’s first half 2023 performance delivered sequential improvement in the underlying revenue performance in our four business areas, and we are positioned to return to growth in the second half of 2023, thanks in part to the contribution from our new innovations beginning to launch. As a result, we raised our financial guidance for all key metrics to reflect our confidence in our underlying business . We also shared our increased investment in U.S. Pet Health to drive portfolio momentum and support launch preparations as we enter what we believe will be a historic window of innovation launches in the early part of 2024.

Pros

Fictitious sense of working at a company that contributes to "animal wellbeing" (when really it's just another monopolizing conglomerate buying out smaller innovative brands to eliminate competition and increase margins to thousands of %)

Cons

Disgusting management practices Compliance and audit disaster waiting to be busted Nonexistent training or development Zero process/procedure documentation No knowledge transfer facilitation Lowest employee satisfaction (Pulse survey results) Tenured personnel hogging senior positions with no work-ethic or willingness to work Constant runaround to get people to do their work
