Pros

If you can survive the next 5 years under the consent decree environment it will be very good experience. It will teach you how to build a quality system using the ICH guidelines, and populating it with standards per international GMP and regulatory requirements. They are doing the same with engineering documentation systems and project management systems. Production Batch Records are also being rewritten.

Cons

Senior management is inept - perhaps half the VPs are gone but there is more pruning to be done. Sanofi has purchased the company and is trying to sort this out but they seem bewildered by the vast array of problems. Genzyme manufacturing plants were under-managed and under-funded for years and this cannot be turned around overnight. People at all levels are working beneath their position as a way of compensating for a lack of proper management systems.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
