Pros

The 401K benefits are excellent. The health insurance is industry standard. The Thousand Oaks, CA area is lovely.

Cons

There is literally no career path. Employees are rewarded based on their ability to schmooze with Sr. Management and competence is not a factor. Management over-reacts in all situations and creates unnecessary churn.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
