Pros

Flexible remote work policies Good 401k employer matching

Cons

Stale culture influenced by French labour laws in the headquarter office leading to too many people that say 'That's not my job' or 'That's not how we do it'. People seem to prioritize policies and politics over actual real results and objectives. Dearth of innovation and flexible thinking. Bureaucratic yet fragmented policies and procedures. Not much of a collegial culture outside of the France offices.

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.
