Pros

- Globally the organization is very strong in Strategy, People & Operations - Global wanted to drive things without compromising values - Great learning opportunity who wants to grow, should be self starter - You look for it you have resources at every corner - Indian affiliate was strong with legacy Elanco team, Value compromised merged entity diluted the culture - Indian Affiliate has some good people

Cons

- Compromise at many levels including the top management - Many things are hidden as part of the vested self-interest - Globally bureaucratic slow pace organization - HR has a timid voice so many employee benefits for the wrong candidates - Indian Affiliate is running for short term but globally there is a great vision

Pros

Plenty of great, passionate coworkers who work hard and collaborate. I had a lot of professional flexibility and my job was always interesting. Process teams on the manufacturing floor is a great system. Offsite resources, especially technical experts, are great.

Cons

Expect to be firefighting constantly and frequently fighting against an aging facility and outdated processes. No unified vision or clear prioritization from management. Misalignment between site leadership and upper/off-site management created sustained operational friction and stress for employees. Leadership turnover was frequent, contributing to ongoing instability. Because of all this, there was a super low morale and a feeling of widespread fatigue. Inconsistent communication and decision-making standards contributed to a low-trust culture, including regular informal discussion of colleagues and unprofessional and sometimes intimidating behavior in meetings. Performance feedback and perceived value were highly dependent on shifting leadership dynamics rather than consistent, objective criteria. Employees could move from being strongly supported to heavily criticized with little change in actual performance. Although a nine-box review process was supposedly used, individual outcomes were not transparently shared with employees. Onboarding and training for specialized roles were underdeveloped. Compensation was just fine for workload and scope of responsibility.
