Diverse employment at an excellent company. Flexible working hours and the vacation given to employees is exceptional. I enjoyed my nine years with the company. I wish the company many years of continued success.
Love working here due to the people and my direct Managers
Executive Coordinator (Current Employee), Cambridge, MA – February 11, 2013
Pros: atmosphere, co-workers, what we do to help people with illness. sanofi is a very compassionate company.
Cons: processes
Sanofi is a great company to work for, my only problem here is the processes. I don't understand how a company so large that does so many great things has so much trouble with IT and Programs. I feel if it were not for these I would stay here forever. I am very fortunate to have a boss and group of people that I work for that I love! They are just like – more... family! – less
I Had great managers at Sanofi and my colleagues were the best. I witnessed several mergers of the company which meant their were several shifts in culture and senior management style.
US Regional Operations Head (Former Employee), Bridgewater, NJ – November 26, 2012
Pros: global cultural experience
Cons: no passion, head-down-and-keep-working mentality
Sanofi has been going through significant strategic changes (especially within R&D). In the United States, the recent moving of scientific and support people to the greater Boston area and subsequent site closings in Great Valley and Bridgewater has taken the optimism and spirit that made the organization an enjoyable community.
No doubt in 3 years – more... when the dust settles things will turn upward but until then it is a Metropolis-type place to work. – less

Drug Safety Specialist (Current Employee), Boston, MA – September 12, 2012
Pros: independence, work from home options
Cons: lack of job security
Genzyme (Sanofi company) is a wonderful place to work. Employees are given a good amount of independence and have the opportunity to work from home two days a week. Co-workers are friendly and helpful. The hardest part of the job is that, since being acquired by Sanofi, job security has become a big issue. Aside from the job security concerns, Genzyme – more... is the best company that I have ever worked for. – less

i have leraned many things in previous company like firstly i am in dispensing section there is many things like checking the raw materials, addition of excipients and API in containeri9n the presence of Quality assurance person, also checking the raw material when dispatch from warehose dept. and came in the dispensing there was check the name, control number, code of materials etc, also i have little bit knowledge of SAP. after that i am in coating section there is handling the whole machine and parametres of machine, also filling the batch manufacturing record, cleanlineaa of the area durring the batch is going, also checking the tablets means in process control, i.e. if any problem is occured then there is handled it properly.
management was good in previous company, means everything was done in proper planning.
co- workers was good, means co-operate at every stage, if any prob;lem occured then we r discussedwith each other and find a solution of that problem and manage it properly.
the hardest part of the job is patience, this single part is define everything.
when i was in coating section that time to saw the machine and i realize that one day i will handle this machin very properly and i did it, this was very enjoyable day in my life. – less
