Pros

Some of the best people I’ve ever met work at Elanco.

Cons

Don’t apply if you are a marketer and care about your mental health. There is a systematic issue that’s rooted deep inside the US marketing team. Until senior leadership finally acknowledges all of the complaints, HR visits and terrible “Voice of the Employee” scores, Elanco will continue recruiting external high talent who will leave a year in when they realize they’ve been suffocated by politics and have no voice in the US. I haven’t left yet because I still believe someone will put an end to this toxic era. Please?

Pros

Plenty of great, passionate coworkers who work hard and collaborate. I had a lot of professional flexibility and my job was always interesting. Process teams on the manufacturing floor is a great system. Offsite resources, especially technical experts, are great.

Cons

Expect to be firefighting constantly and frequently fighting against an aging facility and outdated processes. No unified vision or clear prioritization from management. Misalignment between site leadership and upper/off-site management created sustained operational friction and stress for employees. Leadership turnover was frequent, contributing to ongoing instability. Because of all this, there was a super low morale and a feeling of widespread fatigue. Inconsistent communication and decision-making standards contributed to a low-trust culture, including regular informal discussion of colleagues and unprofessional and sometimes intimidating behavior in meetings. Performance feedback and perceived value were highly dependent on shifting leadership dynamics rather than consistent, objective criteria. Employees could move from being strongly supported to heavily criticized with little change in actual performance. Although a nine-box review process was supposedly used, individual outcomes were not transparently shared with employees. Onboarding and training for specialized roles were underdeveloped. Compensation was just fine for workload and scope of responsibility.
