Smart people; good benefits; work/life balance; global opportunities

Pros

Paid time off, ability to work from home, overall benefits are great

Cons

Culture. Most decision making done in France often by mid-management leaders that are inexperienced and or do not understand site manufacturing operations. In return, there is much micromanaging and immense amount of reporting requirements. Processes change often, are confusing and done so without any communication, input or proper roll out. Those that do not push back and challenge succeed. This hinders innovation, employee engagement and encourages bureaucracy. Salary increases beyond 2% are very rare. I recently had a significant “pay” grade increase and role promotion without any promise for a pay increase. I’ve spoken to other females within Sanofi and this seems to be the norm.

Terrible Place to Work

Pros

Pay and Benefits. Great cafeteria. Some good people there. Maybe a good place to start but not a place to make a career.

Cons

Poor management. Insecure. Future is very questionable. Americans are expendable to save European jobs. Don't really care about employees in the long room. So much that goes on is smoke and mirrors.
