Pros

Good beneficts and work-life balance

Cons

After Novartis aquisitions Elanco became a place of uncertanty and caos. Management was complety unprepared and transparency was complety lost. People were no longer Elanco first bet.

Lots of Promises - No Pay Off

Pros

The sales team as a whole is good. There is potential for the business and should be doing much better than currently indicated.

Cons

Management hopelessly under skilled. For the last couple of years the Vet/Pet team has been managed by an ego maniac. No previous experience in managing people, no coaching of direct reports and when something goes wrong immediately "blame-storms" all and sundry. The acquisition of the Novartis Animal Health business was supposed to be good for all - it really has only been advantageous to those from the Elanco side. Time and time again we have seen good managers forced out - strange, they have mostly been ex Novartis employees. Jeff Simmons (the Global head) runs the place akin to a cult. He is a great self promoter - claims to be a good listener?!
