Pros

Was a lovely place to work for first 5 years and then came Drive and what followed was brutal and in some cases, very unfair.

Cons

Numerous changes, many managers on power trips, toxic culture with no care or compassion for their employees, just layoffs of loyal long term competent staff and replacing them with cheaper inexperienced graduates.

Pros

- Very nice offices in Reading - Good benefits including free EV charging on-site - Some talented colleagues - especially the "old timers"

Cons

- Toxic culture - colleagues smile at you and then give negative feedback to line managers behind your back. - Speaking up is encouraged by SLT but it will put a target on your back. - "My psychological safety" (a buzzword at Sanofi UK) is used as a weapon to complain. - Very high tolerance for under performers. Getting high scores on employee surveys is more important than performance. - HR's only objective is to support the SLT. Have no illusion they are there for you. - Recognition based on who's the leader's favorite, not merit

Pros

If you want to get on here then you're best knowing someone before you start who's on the inside already!

Cons

Once you sign, all your previous experience is null and void - you then to show your competencies the Sanofi way even though you may (and probably will have) more experience than everyone else!
