If you had to pick one Pharma company to spend rest of your career with, who would it be and why?

Mine is Sanofi - Stable with good growth potential and takes care of their employees better than most, even in tough time.

All big pharma companies are pretty stable with growth opps.

Commercial side and R&D are not all stable, some companies have a reputation to move employees from product to product when needed and others cut them and hire new people.

Between personal experience and network experiences I thought people might have some opinions that could be somewhat valid.

Honestly, I could see myself at BI for the rest of my life.

I’ve been in the workforce for 18+ years and this is the most healthy work culture I have ever experienced. It’s not perfect, but most of my colleagues have averaged working here for at least 10 years. It’s pretty incredible to witness and it says a lot ab a company when most of the employees have lasted here for so long.

The work-life balance is ideal & the pay is decent. Lots of growth opportunities. Trust me, I have seen worse.

How's Sanofi's pay compare with big pharma and CROs ?

Low. I left and got a 50K raise for a similar job, same level. And yearly raises are very low. Bonuses are decent but varies from year to year. Although they refuse to admit it, and people manager that worked for Sanofi can tell you that they apply forced distribution for performance reviews which impacts bonus and raise. They offer stock through ESPPs and LTIs, but LTIs are not given out often and start at a high title. Promotions are very tough and very slow. I was a long term employee so maybe they are more competitive for new hires. Let's hope so.

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
