Pros

Good boss (this seems to be rare) Autonomy Responsibility Given my role as an intern, I was almost left to work independently which was a big plus, since I think this is rare.

Cons

Poor company culture Lots of attrition Working in the Allston Landing Facility, I noticed that there were people leaving every week -- just from our department alone. Many co-workers expressed frustration with Genzyme culture, and the lack of support and empathy from upper management towards retention and development of staff.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
