Pros

The industry it serves. Stellar benefits & generous bonus program.

Cons

The company has gotten way too big after the Sanofi acquisition of Genzyme. There have been way too many reorgs and layoffs. Legacy Genzyme employees have held on to managerial and senior positions with their claws even though they may not be qualified to embrace them. This has caused a lot of politics and territorial behavior that make collaboration a challenge. They are not so good with hiring new and young talent. Promotions are a challenge to get. You need to become friends with a certain group and belong to certain demographic to get promoted. Also salary increases are not very generous. If you are a trained professional in CBAP, Scrum master, PMP methodologies this will be a very boring place for you to work at.

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
