Pros

Sanofi Pasteur offers a great benefits package, 401k contributions (company matches up to 6%), and a nice salary with the opportunity for a lot of overtime.

Cons

Management and mid-level supervisors make sure that the employees are aware they don't trust them to get the job done by constantly checking up on each project. When employees know they're not trusted, they become experts at "presenteeism"—the physical appearance of working, without anything getting done. Management keeps their employees in the dark about important, possibly career-altering changes until the very last minute. Marketable top performers want a seat at the table and won't stand for being left in the dark without the information they need to do their jobs well. You will not advance in the company unless you know someone. Advancement isn't based on job performance, it's based on who you know in this company.

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!
