Pros

The workforce is really global is you'll get to work with a lot of European teammates. The commercial side of the business provides great opportunity for building foundations of knowledge that are necessary to go work at a smaller start up biopharma company Salary and benefits are all quite competitive

Cons

Bureaucracy exists at any large company, but at Sanofi it completely paralyzes entire divisions. Nobody seems interested in improving it, and has just given in to the archaic processes/systems in place. Performance development is spoken of but management doesn't follow through. Poor managers are left in positions they shouldn't have and it seems like senior leadership is more interested in doing their best to hide low performers than to address it and try to offer improvement opportunities.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
