Pros

Long history, products carry great values - protecting life -, talented and dedicated people with high skills, Lyon is a very sweet place to live

Cons

Heavy bureaucracy; Management cares about short-term figures & shareholders satisfaction only; human values, solidarity, actual attention to employees (developping the talent pool) have disappeared from what used to be a very dynamic, entrepreneurial company.

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
