Vantaggi
For now, the company still offers a very generous benefit package, included 3 weeks starting vacation, excelent health benefits and up to 150% 401k match (after 6 years of service).
Svantaggi
When I started working at sanofi-aventis there was a popular motto that, "people are our most valuable asset." Since that time, the motto has changed to "people are our most expensive asset." Overall, the quality of the work environment has deteriorated drastically. Constant rumors of downsizing combined with little support and communication from management have left people with nothing but speculations and anxiety. There has been no evidence of strategic planning or forthought when developing restructuring plans, and the result is a feeling of futility on the part of people who have given many years of service to building the company.
