Pros

Good pay and benefits. the bonus is very good about 10% of your annual pay. Pay raises are almost none existant and promotions are hard to come by unless you are a perdue or Rose hulman grad.

Cons

terrible management. Young management with no experience and everyone suffers for their poor performance. They don't care if they make salary people work weekends as long as they don't have to.

Fellow employees are great, managed by ineptitude

Pros

* Fellow employees are great * 401k is decent * PTO is generous * Encouraged community engagement

Cons

* Most departments are highly insular, collaboration for lower level employees is not looked at well. * Management should be called “manglement”; they are inept, incapable of making long term strategies that pull their departments, and therefore the site out of firefighting mode. * As with many corporations, the higher ups have favorites, and you know if you are not on the list. * Promotions are rarely proven skill set and leadership movements, but problematic, unqualified people being moved into different positions because discontent has grown too loud. * Training is sub par, and a root cause of many of the constant issues. * Pay is low for the industry. * Retaliation up to, and including termination happens, despite heavy company lip service to the contrary. * Punitive sick leave policy: have a total of 5 sick days in a calendar year? The door is open to be fired.

Pros

Pretty good growth outlook currently

Cons

Elanco/Lilly has handled the acquisition of this site poorly. Intelligent voices are overlooked. Corporate influence trumps concerns of many hardworking employees. This site has been and is currently being used a stepping stone for some. Favoritism applied to those who are selected by Lilly, not necessarily those most knowledgeable with product/processes.
