Because vaccines sell so well, Sanofi Pasteur, and especially its management, has become very complacent. - Anonymous employee Sanofi Employee Review

Pros

It's nice to know you're making vaccines that have real medicinal value. 9+ weeks of vacation in France, good pay, nice location (Lyon), somewhat international company.

Cons

Dysfunctional support functions (such as IT and HR). Smug attitude of many employees and many people pretending to be busy when they are not. Real problem with useless time-consuming meetings.

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

Pros

The company has an excellent, very collegial atmosphere. Employees are supported well and there is excellent support for most processes from numerous line functions.

Cons

Some processes as well as the governance structure can be a bit confusing. More so than other large pharma companies. But even with this. There are almost always enough people who know how to get things done.
