Pros

Innovative, challenging work, great opportunity to learn and gain exposure.

Cons

Initially the work culture was fine. As time progressed, the culture became toxic. The individuals that were often times downplaying others, overly political, insecure were getting promoted over those with integrity. True management was lacking. This type of behavior caused many of the most qualified, hardworking, friendly, and enthusiastic team members to leave.

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.
