Rensselaer is a disaster

Pros

The company pays well, has good benefits, and promotes quickly. If you can get into a department that doesn't directly support manufacturing (i.e. HR or continuous improvement) you are likely to reap the benefits the company has to offer, the rest are the ones doing the bulk of the work for the company without the free breakfasts and events.

Cons

The turnover in manufacturing is constant resulting in promotions in less than a year of working with the company. Within three years a 25 year old can be an associate manager. This has resulted in unprofessional and untrained management. The management doesn't know how to differentiate the desire to be friends with their reports versus delegating and managing them. Across departments individuals are backdating and forging peers initial and dates on documents. HR and management brush these actions under the rug rather than taking care of the problem. Despite concerns about lack of breaks in manufacturing, management seems to alleviate none of these issues. It takes an employee being gravely injured to allow the other employees a lunch or water break from the clean room. Health and safety issues are constantly brought to management, HR, and EHS. Issues like no breaks for 10 hour shifts, rusting equipment, and hoses leaking 10N NaOH are constantly ignored. The culture of the company has diminished. They no longer seem concerned with a person's personality fitting with the Regeneron 5, just the need to rapidly fill hundreds of positions at a site that is at max capacity. Individuals are trained poorly, pushed to off-shift positions with limited guidance and scolded for any mistakes made.

Pros

can learn a decent amount about the industry and standards

Cons

this place is a joke with too much money to waste... rampant favoritism, consistent attempts by management to micromanage and make up for incompetency, and lack of trust and transparency. when it comes to doing the work: there is compliance, then there is regeneron-style compliance which enforces way too many silly, over-the-top rules to over complicate even menial tasks. everything little bump in a project becomes a huge deal and is blown way out of proportion... completing minor things require some massive undertakings. despite what they claim, this is not progressive at all, but regeneron has tons of cash to shell out so they can continue down this path for now... very interested in seeing the fallout

Great company, great colleagues. The company is science driven not big pharma culture yet!!! Lots of very capable professionals in the company.

Cons

The IT CIO HAS TO GO!!! This guy is tarnishing the Company's reputation. His buddy the CFO will not take action.
