Pros

- great 401k match - generous vacation/sick time - good facilities and state of the art equipment - some of the best and brightest scientists in the industry to learn from - solid pipeline and innovative science

Cons

- like many other reviews have said, promotions are very political and hard to come by - poor behavioral conduct among employees isn't reprimanded - have been met with incessant discrimination from multiple people in leadership positions--unfortunately, these aren't isolated incidences and have occurred with other female and foreign colleagues in my department

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
