Pros

Decent pay at one time. Good weather. 401(k) match. PTO and shutdowns.

Cons

Incompetent management, people are completely miserable since 2014 layoffs. Benefits and comp constantly being slashed. No more RSUs or stock grants. Weak bonuses and salary freezes. Work keeps piling on but pay being cut. HORRIBLE health insurance. $300 month + $1500 family deductible and 20% co-insurance after that.

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.
