Pros

The company has a great corporate culture. Folks really enjoy being here, feel connecting to our broader mission, and the scientific innovation is second to none. The benefits and pay are respectable.

Cons

Teams can be unaligned at times and Silo’d. It takes the right individual mindset to bridge those gaps. If you are the type of scientific mindset that is able to think macro and think about the big picture you will do well here. Resources do tend to be constrained, and currently the workload is heavy … with a broad expectation that AI/Automation can help bridge the gap (without a significant investment in additional staff). Not sure if that vision is realistic.

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.
