Pros

Very nice colleagues- supportive and genuine (very few, if any, backstabber types). Many of them ended up here by default after being laid off by previous employers.

Cons

Below average compensation. Poorly structured comp plan. Little to no bonus pay out. A lot of "busy work" (wild guess forecasting, CRM, trackers, blue sheets, etc). No name recognition at all of the company or products in accounts. No opportunities for advancement.

Pros

People are nice and they have 1 great product, Dotarem.

Cons

The actual headquarters is in France and they do not know how to run a US pharmaceutical company. They ended up laying off ~1,000 who came from the Liebel-Flarsheim (LF)business they bought ~5 years prior. The entire St. Louis team who was the backbone for LF (Administrative Operations i.e. Finance, Contracts, Pricing, Legal, AP, AR, Customer Service, Chargebacks, IT, Procurement, etc.) was let go or their positions were replaced and moved elsewhere. They moved North America finance to Mexico. The rest of the positions are scattered around the U.S. mostly at the actual plants which makes no sense. These people that were let go had an average of 10 years in, many have 20+ years. All that experience out the window. They say they care about their people but they don't. They moved people from France to head up all of the major departments after letting U.S. staff go within the first year of purchasing LF. Also, there was no way to move up while working there. The vibe was pretty bad the last year. New upper management not being transparent so people started to get paranoid.

Nationalists in Prague GL team

Pros

4K of cafeteria points. Although many other companies have this benefit

Cons

90% of GL team is Czech-Slovak people with own community who are nationalists. Those people do their best to make you fail your probation period complaining about each dot or comma of your completed task. You will receive minimum to zero training but demanded maximum. Manager tend to rely on GL accountants negative gossips about you and has no own opinion. If you accept, the job offer be prepared that you will have the most unsupportive colleagues to which you can never count on. I recommend NEVER EVER decide to join Guerbet s.r.o. GL team. It does not worth to try to work at this department. Because even if you pass your trial period you will receive limited 6 months contract.
