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

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
