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
