Pros

Generous 401K package and holiday shutdowns in the summer and winter. Talented and very smart people. Many folks very long-tenured, reflecting their commitment to stay with the company.

Cons

Salaries on the lower side for the industry. Corporate values as stated place shareholder and competitive considerations above patient considerations, despite CEO's emphasis on the latter during speeches. Little opportunity for advancement: managers themselves acknowledge that "professional development" consists of parallel moves across teams. Supportive services such as HR and IT are largely automated or contracted, so responsiveness can be slow.

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.
