Pros

Please note that Fougera (formerly Nycomed) is now part of Sandoz. There are some managers who are very professional and helpful. The salaries and benefits are great, as they are part of Sandoz/Novartis.

Cons

Having worked for several companies, I consider Fougera one of the worst. It has a very bad working environment, with negative attitudes, a lack of accountability, lots of complaining, and very rude and unprofessional personnel. Some employees are very lazy – including one who sleeps and snores in their cubicle for 80% of the day, and another who does not take the extra step to return trash cans to their original locations when they empty the trash (these little things make a difference). There is a lot of animosity between line staff and management. Sandoz, the governing company, is trying to implement new policies and procedures that would steer Fougera in the right direction, but there is a large amount of resistance.
