Pros

If you can survive the next 5 years under the consent decree environment it will be very good experience. It will teach you how to build a quality system using the ICH guidelines, and populating it with standards per international GMP and regulatory requirements. They are doing the same with engineering documentation systems and project management systems. Production Batch Records are also being rewritten.

Cons

Senior management is inept - perhaps half the VPs are gone but there is more pruning to be done. Sanofi has purchased the company and is trying to sort this out but they seem bewildered by the vast array of problems. Genzyme manufacturing plants were under-managed and under-funded for years and this cannot be turned around overnight. People at all levels are working beneath their position as a way of compensating for a lack of proper management systems.

Pros

Great benefits Modern environment Central location

Cons

Management does not seem to know what they are doing day to day as well as overall Top Management making too many changes at the same time without asking for examples or working through real pilot periods where statistics and analysis govern keeping or dumping that strategy Mergers occur without any reassurance for growth Top producers are being lost to other competing companies while the mediocre performers are kept simply because they hold a doctorate degree Quality is suffering due to the numerous and sudden changes in policy and procedure -as soon as the latest policy is adapted another new one is already being rolled out If direct management does know what is going on they do not tell staff or wait until the change is already rolled out which causes mistrust and lack of respect

Pros

Looks good on the resume. The science is interesting and challenging. Pay is OK, benefits are pretty good, though they are still not aligned with what Sanofi employees get.

Cons

Huge amount of uncertainty since acquisition by Sanofi. Management has very little respect for employees and tell us we're just luck y to have a job. So many rumors, no real information. Standards vary greatly from department to department, especially regarding responsibilities and promotions.
