Pros

The people I work with are truly the highlight of this company — smart, collaborative, and committed to excellence. The culture fosters innovation, support, and teamwork, and most immediate leaders genuinely care about employee growth and well-being. It’s a great place to grow your skills and contribute meaningfully.

Cons

Some executive IT leadership often lacks consistent direction and engagement. Decisions sometimes feel disconnected from the actual needs of teams, and there's a tendency toward reactive leadership instead of thoughtful, strategic planning. Additionally, there has been a growing shift toward offshoring not just contractor work, but also core IT roles to India. This raises concerns around knowledge continuity, team morale, and long-term talent investment in existing employees.

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.
