Pros

Relatively better total compensation comparing to other pharma or biotech companies at similar size. Nice campus and facility. Good weather of the location. Good living environment with safe community and nice school.

Cons

There is too much politics. People in most of the departments are not very open-minded, not friendly, and unhappy. Upper management has no confidence on their own decision as well as others'.

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.
