Pros
- Excellent benefits: Generous time off, 401k match, medical, company discounts, bonus structure, etc. - Work/life balance: You can work from home almost anytime you want. 7-8 hours in the office is a typical work day, even for managers. Flexible schedules. Very laid back.
Cons
- Awful raises, regardless of performance. - Promotions are based solely upon seniority and office politics. It doesn't matter how good you are at your job or how hard you work....if an incompetent person has seniority over you or is "connected", they will get the promotion. This is rampant throughout the entire organization. - Endless layers of useless management. - Silo'd environment. Nobody knows what other groups are working on, or what their business processes are. - No Career development opportunities. You perform a small set of tasks with no chance to learn anything new. This is Sanofi's business model.
