Does anyone have any insights on what a typical Sr. Associate Director makes at Boehringer Ingelheim? I have a range of 170-180k which I think is fair but don’t want to be underpaid. Also, any information regarding retirement planning or medical/dental benefits would be helpful. Haven’t gotten much out of HR. Thanks in advance!
I've had a hybrid role for the past 4 years where I get unlimited sick days (well 14 really until fmla kicked in), 3 weeks of vacation, 3 personal days. I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

I think it's fair to bring up if they've happened recently or are currently happening. I wouldn't bother asking if they will be happening at some point in the future since you're unlikely to get a straight answer.
I’d ask more along the lines of company growth or long-term plans. They aren’t going to address the possibility of future layoffs, and bringing up anything that happened before should speak for itself.
Look. I work for a FAANG as you can see. We just laid off 14k plus and it is a topic of conversation during interviews. We are still hiring (more junior and ai focused people ) and if I am not asked about it I will bring it up as it’s the elephant in the room.
I also explain that the company rebalances teams and roles a reorganizes to (hopefully) deliver better for customers and partners and nothing is guaranteed Thus far I have not had anyone exit the process.
