Pros

Great benefits and vacation time. CEO appears to have the right mindset. They promote work life balance, generous vacation time but can never take it because of workload, timeline and expectations. Vacation cannot be rolled over each year, therefore I loose vacation every year to continue to be a high performer.

Cons

The worst culture imaginable, which is sad and ironic because the Genzyme (acquired by Sanofi was the opposite). At Sanofi you are not a person you are a number. The expectation is unrealistic making a work life balance impossible. Very low salaries for those that are long standing employees. There is no value of the employee or contribution. Constant layoffs, I have seen employees/projects be recognized with the highest level of internal and external recognitions and awards then be laid off the month later. Layoffs are done in rash uneducated manors-with no understanding of their actions. Sanofi is a company built on investors not a mission for improving patients lives. European focus with negative treatment and acceptance of non-EU.

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

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
