Sanofi reviews

No transparency or communication between departments. Managment is not team oriented as to the organizational goals. Very separatist environment. Many legacy employees here cling to old processes long after they have been changed. It makes for a chaotic environment. Communication can be mixed depending on the source (line vs senior managment) and often is in conflict. Many proesses and rules are unwritten and leave employees without recourse if management changes or other written processes are ignored. It is best to keep good documentation in writing of any variances from written policy.

The promotion policies are not transparent. When I was up for promotion, I had done very well in my territory in growing a territory that was already at the highest share. I had great experience both at Sanofi with management activities as well as at other firms. I tried really hard to intervieew for positions but was told I need 3 years for a position and I had 2.5 years. By the time I would have started, I would have had the 3 years. It was a dumb line to draw in the sand. Later I found out they had bent these rules previously.
