Pros

Great facilities ( very well maintained), a lot of benefits to employees, diverse group of people, great ethical values, very pro environment and safety!

Cons

Not a lot of career development opportunities. I was trying to move within the same group but having other responsibilities but I wasn't allowed too. It would have been worse if I tried to move to another group or area. A lot of people incidents (people been disrespectful), a lot of drama, back stabbing and management knows about it but don't do much. Salary increase its not a whole lot but good bonus. In order to get a promotion you have to be more than "perfect", almost like a "GOD" for your manager (that's why there's a lot of backstabbing people trying to move up no matter how). The way Human Resources manages issues its not too good. Issues go on and on for years before someone decides its time to do something about it. Not a lot of technical people most of the things are contracted outside.

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.
