Pros

If you can survive the next 5 years under the consent decree environment it will be very good experience. It will teach you how to build a quality system using the ICH guidelines, and populating it with standards per international GMP and regulatory requirements. They are doing the same with engineering documentation systems and project management systems. Production Batch Records are also being rewritten.

Cons

Senior management is inept - perhaps half the VPs are gone but there is more pruning to be done. Sanofi has purchased the company and is trying to sort this out but they seem bewildered by the vast array of problems. Genzyme manufacturing plants were under-managed and under-funded for years and this cannot be turned around overnight. People at all levels are working beneath their position as a way of compensating for a lack of proper management systems.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
