Sanofi-Aventis U.S – “Does health really matter at sanofi-aventis?”

Pros

They have a competetive compensation and benefit package. They have a good relocation package. If you can handle working here it is a big Pharma which looks good on your resume. Flexible work schedule most employees get Fridays off.

Cons

No transparency or communication between departments. Managment is not team oriented as to the organizational goals. Very separatist environment. Many legacy employees here cling to old processes long after they have been changed. It makes for a chaotic environment. Communication can be mixed depending on the source (line vs senior managment) and often is in conflict. Many proesses and rules are unwritten and leave employees without recourse if management changes or other written processes are ignored. It is best to keep good documentation in writing of any variances from written policy.

Advice to Senior Management

Being directed by the French office isn't working, you need experts in US pharma regulations.
