Friendly and diversed employees and good working environment, easily accessible to Red line
Administrative Assistant (Current Employee), Cambridge, MA –
Pros: free, coffee, tea, milk, cream, beverages, inexpensive cafeteria, flexible schedule, managers appreciate their admins regularly, nice size cubes and no micro-management
Cons: company's stability in question, low moral, the unknown
I have been a contractor at Genzyme since 10/11 to present and so far it appears to be a great place to work.

The only concern I have at the moment is employment stability. Since Genzyme has been acquired by Sanofi and is still going through an integration period, I feel very uncertain about employment stability and what direction the company is going – more...  in.

The company overall is a nice place to work, great people to work with and a very pleasant environment which I like. – less

Stong Team leader
Principal Quality Engineer (Current Employee), Cambridge, MA –
Pros: strong sr. management and infrastructure
I have over 30 tears of experience, so I act as a real mentor to co-workers. I have contributed to several improvement and new product cross functional teams and I feel that I am a strong team leader.

I have managed several people and have had no employee turnover, which suggests that they approve of my lead by example philosophy.

Great Biotech company
Key Account Manager (Current Employee), Cambridge, MA –
In my current position as Key Account Manager for Genzyme Corporation, I was required to operate in accordance with all company policies, standard operating procedures, FDA requirements (including compliance with the FDA mandated REMS) and privacy regulations. I also regularly fielded calls regarding adverse events and handled the reporting as needed.

Great coworkers, great management, like a family.
Cytogenetic Lab Aide (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: flexible hours, break rooms, supplied coffee and refrigeration.
Cons: as with any job in the medical field, there are risks involved, but are manageable.
The training was very thorough and they made sure the new employees understood what to do if an accident were to occur. We were taught how to handle blood borne pathogens and the necessity for safety. The layout of the labs is simple and easy to understand. The people are together for much of the day, giving a sense of unity. Everyone, including myself, – more...  enjoys working there. – less
