Pros

Interesting pipeline; strong technical and scientific expertise; restructuring will probably lead to a healthier business model with improved long term perspectives

Cons

Many parts of the organisation still lack focus on actually getting new products developped; very hierarchical structures with significant disconnect between levels of management; restructuring left many employees in a fatalistic mood and management hasn't dealt with that yet...

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.
