Pros

Great benefits. Very talented people.

Cons

I really do miss Genzyme - they actually cared about their employees and helped them grow. Sanofi views employees as numbers and if you want to get ahead - you really have to kiss up. They don't allow their employees dignity and respect. There is a lot of internal bullying and harassment. The Sanofi managers are intimidating and they do not respect people. There are a lot of extremely talented people that work for this company - they need to be treated better.

Pros

Flexible hours. Can take initiatives. Presentations and meetings, under good bosses, are actually useful rather than useless and boring.

Cons

Percentage of bonuses keep getting cut. Job security has become less stable; and promotion to VP level has been severely curtailed.

Pros

Many divisions and moving from one to another is encouraged for employee development. Sanofi has invested heavily in resources to develop its people, in addition to encouraging experiences in different divisions. There is a deep benefits package. The 401K is very good. Most everything else is average. There are a lot of nice, not great, added benefits. For the most part the products are solid

Cons

The company culture is drowning in all that is "Big Pharma". Loads of bureaucracy, policies and politics. The paranoid, fearful attorneys paralyze the sales force with fear to the point that most people are afraid to send an e-mail. Politics run amok so that it damages the ability to have forthright communication. Creativity and solution oriented thinking are suffocated by the abundance of protocol, politicking, "compliance", and overarching fear. As far as compensation, a couple of divisions are at the high end of average and others, such as diabetes, are at the low end
