Pros

nothing positive since the company restructured in 2011

Cons

Staff morale is very low at all levels globally due to staff cuts and overwhelming workload that is very apparent to management but nothing is done about it. The company has lost it's identity and does not value it's staff. The company is top heavy with a lot of decision makers and not enough people willing to do! Processes and systems are in place for staff performance reviews but poor management allows this process to be omitted - for example, I was promised full bonus award by my manager but he never entered anything into the system as required, I was fortunate enough to gain a new opportunity outside Sanofi which started 1 month prior to bonus payment - I was very surprised to hear my manager had scored me lower than we discussed and that he was allowed to state untrue facts about my performance in order to justify it - if the process had been followed then it would have been documented but of course it wasn't - anything for Sanofi to save a few €K!!! Having spent 10 years at the company I have witnessed it's decline - unfortunately this is widespread feeling.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
