Pros

Great campus and amenities like a gym, child care, dry cleaning, shoe repair, etc. Non-management partners are easy to work with.

Cons

It's not what you know or how well you do your job, but who you know that brings success. Managers are not available to solve issues or show awareness of areas they have been promoted over. Position can override common sense in finding solutions.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
