Pros

Good financial benefits. A mission that really means something. Would be a great place if you can get past the layoff threshold into the middle manager area.

Cons

No real identity or team cohesion, a lot of turnover, layoffs, a LOT of middle managers, 10:1 time ratio of meetings to actual work and 95% of the work is done by contractors and then everybody celebrates when the the real value of the work is questionable at best. What could take hours or days takes weeks and months, but sometimes with good reason to be fair, it is serious work.

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.
