Pros

Benefits are good - 1.5X match on 401k and EU vacation scale. Management in US tries to establish a level of independence but being a French citizen is required.

Cons

Sanofi is no Genzyme - US is micromanaged from France so getting anything done is impossible - decent benefits but crappy salary. ESOP with a 5 year holding period was laughable. The claims of poor sales or product launch expenses come every year as the reason for below inflation raises.

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
