Great culture!

Business Outlook

Pros

The company culture is exceptional. There is a high-level of collaboration that fosters creativity and encourages everyone to jump in, take ownership, and bring their perspective and experiences to the table. It also feels great to know that our efforts contribute to enhancing the well-being of animals globally.

Cons

The company operates in a fast-paced environment and they are focused on innovation and continuous improvement. In addition to that, the company is still working through establishing structure and processes after the transition from Eli Lilly. If someone works better in a slower-paced environment, or relies on a lot of structure and defined processes, they may initially struggle to adapt.
