Pros

Wages, 401k, vacation, sick leave if you can use it (although too many abuse it), used to have many company perks but not anymore

Cons

One of the worst work environments I've experienced. People are immoral, lazy, inefficient. It's all about politics and cozying up to the right people. Good talkers get promoted, but they have nothing to show for it. Top-heavy with too many managers that do no real work but get paid the big bucks. People are afraid to speak out in fear of retaliation.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
