Pros

Great benefits and good opportunities along the way

Cons

You can expect layoffs 2 or 3 times a year, without fail, corporate communication is awful, and it's nearly impossible to get anything done quickly because of the layers of red tape that they call "efficiencies." Sanofi is also notorious for not paying their vendors. It took me over a year to get a $300 vendor bill paid because the Finance team kept saying they never received any one of the numerous invoices said vendor repeatedly mailed into the Finance team over that year.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
