Pros

Sanofi Pasteur offers a great benefits package, 401k contributions (company matches up to 6%), and a nice salary with the opportunity for a lot of overtime.

Cons

Management and mid-level supervisors make sure that the employees are aware they don't trust them to get the job done by constantly checking up on each project. When employees know they're not trusted, they become experts at "presenteeism"—the physical appearance of working, without anything getting done. Management keeps their employees in the dark about important, possibly career-altering changes until the very last minute. Marketable top performers want a seat at the table and won't stand for being left in the dark without the information they need to do their jobs well. You will not advance in the company unless you know someone. Advancement isn't based on job performance, it's based on who you know in this company.

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.
