IT workers look elsewhere - Recensione dipendente - Solutions Architect presso Sanofi

Pay is far below competitors. Bonuses have new criteria and if you get anything at all it will be much less than previous years. Sanofi has been taking away benefits and making health coverage many times more expensive than it was. My health plan is now more than twice as expensive than it was 3 years ago without changing coverage. Frequent reorganizations. I believe there has been a reorganization every year for the last 8 years. In spite of teams being spread over multiple countries and time zones the CEO still insists on employees being in the office. Work life balance is officially the responsibility of the employee. Everyone is overloaded. Everyone. They will continue to assign work regardless of bandwidth and if an employee does not complete all projects they will be negatively reviewed and their pay and bonuses will be affected. There is a truly extraordinary amount of bureaucracy. This makes sense for regulated activities but everything is like this. There is an expectation that employees be available at any time. It is actually unusual for an employee to not do some kind of work during their vacations. Workstations are dated and underpowered making even basic office tasks very difficult to work on.
