Pros

Great Benefits: Match 401K, Summer and Winter Shutdown, Stock Options for permanent employees, good health care plans and paid leave of absence Working in Teams: A pleasure working with the most intelligent, hardworking, and willingness to take risk team members. Best team experience I've had in the industry

Cons

The company is shifting to more and more contingent workers and driving out or laying off the experienced workforce. There will be limited career opportunities unless you are critical hire. The workload has increased significantly and prioritization communications are slow in getting to line managers. Moral is poor as workforce waits for next RIF. Organization is in free fall waiting for new business process to be rolled out across the organization.

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.
