Pros

Good benefits, vacation, nice campus.

Cons

Unfortunately, not many employees can tell you where the company is headed. Perpetual reorganizations create an illusion of progress but self serving middle and upper management remain in place by presenting rewarmed ideas that keep them employed until the next "change." The industry changes so fast, but the company seems unable to anticipate these changes because US based managers, for example, shield French-based upper management from the industry trends in the major markets. The result is a behemoth that operates by the seat of its pants when faced with diminishing revenues. Local legal management seems deer struck with forseable freight trains of patent cliffs. Innovation yields to disorganization until, you guessed it, the next reorg. And the cycle continues while legal management remains in place for years without any value added.

Pros

The industry it serves. Stellar benefits & generous bonus program.

Cons

The company has gotten way too big after the Sanofi acquisition of Genzyme. There have been way too many reorgs and layoffs. Legacy Genzyme employees have held on to managerial and senior positions with their claws even though they may not be qualified to embrace them. This has caused a lot of politics and territorial behavior that make collaboration a challenge. They are not so good with hiring new and young talent. Promotions are a challenge to get. You need to become friends with a certain group and belong to certain demographic to get promoted. Also salary increases are not very generous. If you are a trained professional in CBAP, Scrum master, PMP methodologies this will be a very boring place for you to work at.
