      An energetic and productive company that became of victim of acquisition by Sanofi

      Pros

      Superior benefits:150% match on 6% contributions to 401K, very generous vacation package, environmentally conscious, new clean lab space, salaries aligned with other big pharma, on site Occupational Health building, good bonuses. The people who work there are top notch and the main reason I have stayed there 15 years.

      Cons

      The tendrils of the big pharma bureaucracy by Sanofi has undermined the culture of Genzyme, salary increases are meager (<2%), reduction in work force without replacements. A recent confusing layoff let go several very talented and people with purported influx of contracted staff as future replacements. The future of R&D has not been communicated leaving the staff feeling vulnerable.

      It was a quick tumble down from one of the best places to work, to a bureaucratic creativity killer.

      Pros

      Benefits are the only thing that remains as a plus. 401K match is superb, vacation time is generous and salary is on par. Health benefits are reasonable, but costs have significantly gone up. This, however is occurring everywhere.

      Cons

      Since the Sanofi took over the culture of Genzyme has disappeared. Genzyme used to be a place of great collaboration and creative thinking, alas that is all but gone. There are pockets left, but most of the best and brightest have found new homes. Sanofi destroyed this emerald of biotech. Data generated in research, poorly over seen and much of it may be over interpreted or wrong.

      Sanofi-US - Genzyme it ain't!

      Pros

      Benefits are good - 1.5X match on 401k and EU vacation scale. Management in US tries to establish a level of independence but being a French citizen is required.

      Cons

      Sanofi is no Genzyme - US is micromanaged from France so getting anything done is impossible - decent benefits but crappy salary. ESOP with a 5 year holding period was laughable. The claims of poor sales or product launch expenses come every year as the reason for below inflation raises.
