Pros

Great Benefits Package and good Work/Life Balance. The company overall felt warm and I really enjoyed my time working at sanofi aventis.

Cons

Talent development and recognition is dependent upon the department you work for. So if your manager, director or whatever, doesn't take the time to recognize your contribution, you will never be noticed. In addition, there is a lot of red tape. I also felt that when I worked hard to finish the project, the overall expectation became that I worked that hard all the time. Where as other employees who slacked off, often had less responsibilities. I felt at times I was almost punished for working harder and more efficiently.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
