Pros

Constant growth, challenging job. Immediate management listens and is open to input

Cons

Company is constantly reorganizing. Focused on growth and market share which is fair enough but makes some really strange acquisitions, several of which did not work out as planned, but they keep doing it. A facility can be a critical asset now and then closed a year later after the latest acquisition made it irrelevant.

Pros

Elanco has a laser-like focus on ensuring that its people are satisfied and content in their jobs. Elanco is serious about promoting a work-life balance. Elanco trusts me to get on with my work and do my job. I don't feel like I am over managed and enjoy every day at work.

Cons

Being a long way from our USA parent can make me feel that the focus is not on us sometimes with respect to product pipeline for certain animal groups. Good managers make up for this with regular updates and information that may be USA-centric but positive at the same time.
