Pros

Paid time off, ability to work from home, overall benefits are great

Cons

Culture. Most decision making done in France often by mid-management leaders that are inexperienced and or do not understand site manufacturing operations. In return, there is much micromanaging and immense amount of reporting requirements. Processes change often, are confusing and done so without any communication, input or proper roll out. Those that do not push back and challenge succeed. This hinders innovation, employee engagement and encourages bureaucracy. Salary increases beyond 2% are very rare. I recently had a significant “pay” grade increase and role promotion without any promise for a pay increase. I’ve spoken to other females within Sanofi and this seems to be the norm.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
