Pros

Good compensation, great culture at the team level.

Cons

Rewards the most toxic employees with promotion, management micromanages too much (which gives impression that they are trying to stay relevant), makes sweeping decisions without thinking through impacts, and long-term goals are sadly short sighted. Too many layoffs of important roles that actually do the work without feasible or even sensible backup plans - too much faith in AI and they eliminated important roles before proving that AI even works.

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.
