Pros

None, unless you consider incompetent scientific managers who require visa sponsorship or deplorable human resource and legal practices to be positive attributes.

Cons

Beware of Regeneron's legal practices, during on-boarding you are required to sign a non-compete agreement which may prevent you from working elsewhere if you decide to leave. This practice has been outlawed in other states, but NY is slow to catch on. Many of the other reviews warning of a cultish and hostile work culture are true. If you are considering accepting a position be especially wary of groups with foreign monocultures in middle management - there is a severe lack of ethical values and standards associated with these groups. A group of individuals in middle management for the R&D side of the business were exposed defrauding lower level employees within the same focus area of their scientific knowledge and experience. The response from HR, legal and upper management was an attempt to cover things over by coercing employees who were aware of the problem to sign non-derogatory statements. Citizenship status is also used by HR and legal to convince employees towards a given viewpoint when they become embroiled in these situations. Be forewarned if you decide to accept a position at Regeneron, you may be gambling with your career - there are systemic ethical dilemmas lurking just beneath the surface. Presumably one reason the IT department is such a mess is that they have to be involved with problems like this one, where there is a clear electronic paper trail to hide.

Pros

- High growth organization - Stabilty - CEO/CSO are a great asset

Cons

- Poor HR engagement - Scientists and R&D folks are well taken care of. If you work in SG&A, you'd be treated like garbage - Growth and bonuses are based on who you know, how you know rather than skill - Recently updated their appraisal process to make it more vague, so that employees cannot figure out how they were rated and whether they received a good bonus or not - Low pay compared to the location. However if you are on the right side of favoritism, you could be filthy rich in no time - IT is the biggest hell hole. From leadership to vision, this is a problem area. If you have any overlap with IT, consider that you will never be able to accomplish your goals - Did I say, HR business partner is completely disengaged. If you leave the company they will be happy to let you go. My exit interview lasted 5 minutes. It further made me happy with my decision to move on
