Pros

The people at Genzyme Diagnostics are friendly and easy to get along with. Everyone is very helpful. This makes for a great working environment.

Cons

Not much opportunity to grow career-wise. Advancement is a frequently a long, years of service-based process regardless of achievements. Decisions from the higher ups are communicated at the last moment and take most people by surprise. There is a definite disconnect between management and employees.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
