Pros

Benefits are great, corporate car, health insurance, culture.

Cons

no equitable review of territories. not all territories are the same, and that affects bonuses. if you perform well they will silent promote you. they will give you additional projects to work on but won't pay you or promote you for it.

Pros

Some of the best people I’ve ever met work at Elanco.

Cons

Don’t apply if you are a marketer and care about your mental health. There is a systematic issue that’s rooted deep inside the US marketing team. Until senior leadership finally acknowledges all of the complaints, HR visits and terrible “Voice of the Employee” scores, Elanco will continue recruiting external high talent who will leave a year in when they realize they’ve been suffocated by politics and have no voice in the US. I haven’t left yet because I still believe someone will put an end to this toxic era. Please?
