Pros

Although perks are average, it has great work-life balance, great people to work with. Small company atmosphere. Very resourceful.

Cons

Although recent acquisitions provide more career opportunities, people movement is equivalent to its large parent pharmaceutical company. Some departments are better at employee recognition.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is continuing to grow which makes for a challenging, but rewarding workplace.

Cons

Once in position it's hard to move, a minimum of 3 years in a current position before being considered for another more suited for skill set is discouraging. Eliminating the educational benefits/reimbursement caused many talented young people to leave the company.

ELANCO - A great animal health company to work for

Human resources strategic business partner (sbp)

Business Outlook

Pros

Great "entrepreneurial" and open/transparent culture. Solid core visible (lived-out) values of Respect for People, Integrity, & Excellence. A compelling mission & cause: food and companionship enriching life. No Performance Ratings. Focus on Development. Business growth & career opportunities. Aquiring other companies & technologies that complement existing business model & product portfolio. Most recent acquisition (Novartis Animal Health) will effectively result in 1.5x growth in revenue and employee population. Excellent & approachable senior leadership.

Cons

As size grows, culture is changing, and experiencing "growing-up" (becoming a "big-boy company" pains). In some ways good (i.e. more robust business processes); in some ways maybe not so good (i.e. more big-pharma-esque; more bureaucracy; less nimble). Supports "work-life balance" but operates with very lean staff (organization undersized; jobs oversized) so W-L balance difficult to realize in some areas.
