Management is resistant to new ideas; depth of expertise, hard work ,and loyalty are not recognized or rewarded; age and gender discrimination; only those that "toe the party line" are promoted; and no top-down transparency.

More than 20 years with Elanco – wow! We are sorry to hear that you feel that your hard work and loyalty has not been recognized enough. While we have systems in place that encourage top down and horizontal recognition, we also hope to create an environment where concerns can be voiced openly. Thank you for your tenure of making life better for animals, helping us to become a leader in animal health!
Plenty of great, passionate coworkers who work hard and collaborate. I had a lot of professional flexibility and my job was always interesting. Process teams on the manufacturing floor is a great system. Offsite resources, especially technical experts, are great.
Minpunten
Expect to be firefighting constantly and frequently fighting against an aging facility and outdated processes. No unified vision or clear prioritization from management. Misalignment between site leadership and upper/off-site management created sustained operational friction and stress for employees. Leadership turnover was frequent, contributing to ongoing instability. Because of all this, there was a super low morale and a feeling of widespread fatigue.
Inconsistent communication and decision-making standards contributed to a low-trust culture, including regular informal discussion of colleagues and unprofessional and sometimes intimidating behavior in meetings. Performance feedback and perceived value were highly dependent on shifting leadership dynamics rather than consistent, objective criteria. Employees could move from being strongly supported to heavily criticized with little change in actual performance. Although a nine-box review process was supposedly used, individual outcomes were not transparently shared with employees.
Onboarding and training for specialized roles were underdeveloped. Compensation was just fine for workload and scope of responsibility.
