Pros

Beautiful campus and facilities, smart people, pay's competitive for employees hired with industry experience. Excellent benefits. Challenging work. Opportunities to move around laterally and learn new areas of the business. Promising pipeline of drugs.

Cons

Heavy work load requires careful work life balance. Pay tends to be lower than industry if organically promoted from within. Can get fairly political, especially at mid to upper management levels.

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.
