Pros

Great Benefits Package and good Work/Life Balance. The company overall felt warm and I really enjoyed my time working at sanofi aventis.

Cons

Talent development and recognition is dependent upon the department you work for. So if your manager, director or whatever, doesn't take the time to recognize your contribution, you will never be noticed. In addition, there is a lot of red tape. I also felt that when I worked hard to finish the project, the overall expectation became that I worked that hard all the time. Where as other employees who slacked off, often had less responsibilities. I felt at times I was almost punished for working harder and more efficiently.

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

Pros

The company has an excellent, very collegial atmosphere. Employees are supported well and there is excellent support for most processes from numerous line functions.

Cons

Some processes as well as the governance structure can be a bit confusing. More so than other large pharma companies. But even with this. There are almost always enough people who know how to get things done.
