Pros

The sales team's dynamics were excellent, similar to how shared hardships forge deep connections among comrades in battle.

Cons

The most significant challenge impacting every aspect of your role involves upper management due to their lack of understanding of the US market. Their approach, modeled after the French system with universal healthcare, is ineffective in the American context. Observing the company's stock performance since January 2020 can provide insight into the strategic misalignments and their impact.

Pros

I'm one of the "Mallinckrodt Idiots" that many of the reviewers are referring to. So, I guess I am also very bossy. When we came from Mallinckrodt Guerbet was selling 6 products in the US. With the merger there are now over 200. Guerbet also didn't have a lot of the automated processes, procedures and tools that Mallinckrodt had so when HQ tells us that we need to merge Guerbet's 6 products into Mallinckrodt's automated tools, systems and procedures that is what we did. We then have to train Guerbet employees on these processes and tools so maybe that is why people thought we were/are bossy? Maybe the Guerbet people don't like change? Who knows but I don't think I am bossy or a "Know-It-All" I was just doing what I was told from HQ. I will say that the overall culture is decent. HQ is very good about being transparent especially with the new CEO and they seem to care about the employees especially during Covid.

Cons

With the merger there were a lot of gaps. For example, Mallinckrodt had different departments handling certain areas. For example it had separate departments for Capital Equipment, GPO Pricing, Membership and so on. With the merger some people didn't come over from every one of these departments so people had to pick up the slack meaning you now had 1 person doing the work of several departments. This means a huge work load for salaried employees. We were told we would eventually get help. We never did and I blame poor management on that as I have seen other departments get FTE's. Also a lot of approvals have to go through HQ in France and that typically takes a long time. US customers/sales want a quick turnaround. Guerbet tries to run the US market like it runs Europe and you can't do that with everything.
