Regeneron

The environment is very fast paced and unlike what is said, ideas are not welcome. This is a great place to start your career, the freebies handed out always keep the younger crowd engaged- such as seasonal parties, picnics, company parties, ice cream truck, and free food. They spend an abundant amount of money on shirts, useless company branded junk, and food. If you’re right out of college, all of this is great. They also act like free coffee is a privilege. The big boss is known to watch security footage of people working at IOPS and will call out those who don’t follow the rules. Either by odd email blasts, a random meeting or group text.
If you are fine being a robot, then Regeneron is for you. They like people who do what they are told and not ask questions, despite what they say. There also is a very awkward amount of married managers that are responsible for the major components of the drug Manufacturing. Interrelationships are rampant at IOPS. The Boss enjoys making a mockery of online and incompany reviews and will arrogantly read them aloud to onsite employees during Business Update Meetings. As long as that is the leadership attitude example, the workplace will never mature.
You will be constantly reminded of how fast the company grew and the fact that the rapid growth is the reason why management cannot train new hires for jobs is due to no time, they lack the ability to describe the job, and that many standard operating procedures written is overtly complicated and at times, contradicting. Don’t bother wasting time to help with this problem, as anyone who does is tagged as an immediate threat and will be reprimanded in a very passive aggressive manner.
Management at this company throughout the Departments is sorely lacking any leadership qualities with the exception of the Facilities Engineering Team. It’s a disgrace at how much effort Management puts in to cover their shortcomings. The Manufacturing silo answers to no one and treats others with great disrespect, Automation is so severely understaffed that almost 80% are contractors who don’t know protocols, Facilities is also comprised mostly of contractors as well, especially with investigations, QA is distrusted by all departments onsite allwhile it is openly admitted that due to the serious lack of investment in systems that can talk to each other causes extreme time waste, frustration and demotivation our team can only do so much. 
However, they manage to make the moneymaker drugs and that’s all Corporate cares about. It is very disappointing how much politics is at play within this company who’s misison is to help patients.

I can only speak for manufacturing, but the culture at Regeneron in my experience is extremely “cult-y” and has a huge hive mentality. It’s very cliquey - feels kind of like a small college.

It’s a lot of extremely Type A, young people that date each other  / are married (even in management) and the management is kind of worshipped. There are definitely some great people in the mix, but the overall culture isn’t great in my opinion. The leading management of manufacturing tends to sends out super passive aggressive emails, and go on tirades of arrogant life lesson preachiness. 

It sorts of seems like everyone thinks they are the best of the best just because regeneron has called itself a great place to work - you’ll see a lot of arrogant young people. Ironically, it seems like everyone is still terrified of the management / making mistakes.

Manufacturing is sort of seen as bottom tier in the company, and moving around to different departments seems to be difficult. From what I have seen, they would rather hire people outside of Regeneron than internal BPS’s that have been with the company for years. 

The benefits and pay are pretty good if you are coming out of college, and staying for a few years is doable, but manufacturing is definitely not a long term gig unless you’re really into it. It’s physically exhausting - be prepared to walk from building to building and gown / change multiple times a day.

Overall, fine for a few years and pay is good enough to justify it, especially when you are getting on your feet. 

Manufacturing is a miserable job, be prepared when you begin it’s not going to be what you planned for your dreams after college. INCREDIBLY HARD TO LEAVE MFG AS IT IS DEEMED AN UNDESIRABLE POSITION TO TRANSFER IN THE COMPANY. Be prepared to have to jump companies if you want to leave the biotech Production specialist position. Get your experience in the industry and get out of manufacturing. Depending on your shift the people are sneaky and it’s an environment like high school all over again. Getting into management is a skewed process and many of the managers in the mfg department are married to eachother!!! Compensation is great if you work double weekends, you won’t find a better paying job coming right out of Undergrad. They offer tuition assistance for grad school, so get right on that and advance yourself! Develop all the skills you need to progress to another less-toxic atmosphere. The rest of the company is great. Do your time, get your experience, but don’t expect to get out of mfg for your first, second, or third internal interview. They hire outside much more than they do internally. I could write so much more but I’ll leave it at that. 

Advice: Pay off some student debt working double weekends and GTFO of mfg as soon as your 1 year is over. Don’t get caught in the money trap. Make yourself happy, money isn’t worth the lack of happiness! 

Pro: 
Compensation is good. Only because there are so many cons that they use compensation as a way to get folks to stay. Most people who have moved, that I'm aware of, were so frustrated that they took a pay cut to get out of here.

Cons:
• The company is located in Tarrytown, and regardless of where you’re based, you’re expected to commute five days a week. I’ve seen people endure commutes as long as 2.5 hours each way. There is absolutely no flexibility on this. While flexibility is promised during the hiring process, it’s essentially a false claim. 

• Despite being in a leadership role in technology, I am treated as if I’m working in a warehouse packing boxes. Every hour worked is closely monitored, and you’re required to request time off even if you just need a flexible schedule. In my 20+ years in the tech industry, I’ve never encountered a culture like this. 

• The 401(k) match is provided in stock, which isn’t ideal for everyone. Additionally, the process for calculating the match percentage is unnecessarily complicated. And finally a 4 year vesting period, unlike most companies which have a 1 year vesting period. 

• HR frequently promotes an “open door policy” through quarterly emails, but there are rumors suggesting it’s more about preventing potential employee litigations than fostering genuine communication. While I haven’t personally experienced this in my team, I’ve heard of employees being terminated suddenly with no explanation given. 

• Lastly, senior management is very inflexible and shows little interest in receiving or acting on feedback from employees across the company.



If you are just out of school come here!  If not, stay home!  Company favors the young and does little for seasoned professionals!  Managers tend to be in their 20's- 30's with no experince, so the older employees  have to train the majority of students there.  A lot of focus on employee training, but lack of program focus! BASIC   skills are not practiced, such as program management of individual projects, timing charts or deliverables, etc.  There are layers and layers of manager titles with little results from them.  Since it is a Pharmaceutical Company, there are many chemists and life science majors.  As a reward, they are promoted to Manager level and above. Since they are basically scientific in nature, they have No people skills and No management skills to run a department.  Hence the dilemma for seasoned professionals coming to work there!

Someone should do a LEAN exercise on the MANAGEMENTorganization!  If you have any large company, Fortune 100 type experience, do not come here!  You will become frustrated very quickly! 

On the money side, you are always chasing the rabbit!  401k money is not given to you until one year and 2 months from the time you put it in, so you have to stay the 14 months just to get your 401 monies!  The same with any bonus money!  Instead  of getting a bonus around Christmas, like Most companies, see you later! Like in February! 

If you're a friend of an employee you will have a good chance to get in!   If you are a yes man , in the clique,  play paint ball you will probably stay!

Foreign bodies prevail!   How did the US get to this !

Great job security, benefits, and room for advancement if you work hard and take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. Good culture and cool coworkers for the most part. Some people really do give this place everything they have and care so much. However, that can be the downside to Regeneron - if you give, Regeneron will take, until you have nothing left to give. You will be compensated well, but the stress/workload can be draining after enduring it for years. Management does their best, but there’s a noticeable gap between “upper” management, “middle” management, and “lower” management. Upper management tends to be too dissociated from the day-to-day process and have a habit of inserting themselves when they aren’t needed (often with good intentions) and being absent when they are needed. A Director will make or break your department.They will either fight for you and have a vision or delegate core responsibilities and get frustrated when performance is subpar. Politics can interfere with quality decision making (or any decisions being made) because a lot about advancement comes down to perception. If you can smooth talk your way out of making a concrete decision, then you can’t be help accountable for a mistake, right?

Working at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals was an incredibly rewarding experience, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity they gave me. I had a wonderful time during my time there, and I’m especially thankful for the amazing people I met. The company has a strong sense of camaraderie, with supportive and encouraging colleagues who were always ready to help, challenge, and inspire me to grow.

I had the privilege of working with some exceptional managers and leaders who pushed me to expand my skills while providing mentorship and constructive feedback. Their guidance helped me develop professionally and personally, and I genuinely appreciated the culture of learning and growth at Regeneron.

Of course, like any company, Regeneron has its faults and areas for improvement. However, I truly believe their commitment to continuous improvement — as reflected in their motto — is helping them address and refine those areas. It’s clear that the leadership is dedicated to making positive changes and creating an even better workplace for employees moving forward.

Overall, my time at Regeneron was an incredibly positive and enriching experience, and I will always look back with gratitude for the chance to be part of such an innovative and forward-thinking company.



I worked through a temp agency. Performance was forbidden from being openly discussed with my manager, so there were days I felt I was doing fine and then I received a phone call after work (after hours) indicating that my performance was lacking. I only worked there for a month and some change, and my manager's standards were exorbitantly high about minutiae (PowerPoint presentation formatting and colors, font and spacing consistency) and her expectations for what I should be able to do or able to know at any given point was subject to abrupt change. It was the most anxiety-inducing work circumstances I've ever been apart of. A week ago I got my first and only warning that my eye for detail was lacking, which may have been fair criticism for anyone who hadn't been working there for only one month and was still training in many areas. The next week, after what I thought was some improvement, I was fired. 

The work culture is fine but you better hope you get a good manager. And trust my recommendation, try and find a full time job there and not a temp position. They fire their temps wantonly and with such little justification or warning. Some of us theorize they do so once our workload lightens and they don't want to pay us anymore, which happened in my case. 

Territories vary greatly in size, some are huge and others not bad. Salary is all over the map.  Bonus structure changes every quarter.  Samples are non-existent.  Resources have dried up. Enjoy selling my product, but be prepared to have to fight to get each and every patient through insurance system. None of this comes easily. 
Matrix environment between Regeneron and Sanofi.  Some teams work well together, others not so much.  Very dependent on individuals and managers support or lack of support.  

Promotion is not nearly as good as what I was sold.  Think I will have to leave before I can get a promotion.  Everyone starts at same level, but base pay has varied greatly.  No balancing has occurred to date, but a lot of talk that someday it might happen.  Know that you get NO SICK DAYS, only a small amount of PTO--3 weeks to cover everything, sick, sick child, vacation.  Good medical, dental, and vision coverage.

The company does NOT design, nor make any hardware devices so don't be fooled by the title "Device Development.  These device development jobs are actually only lab tech jobs, testing and putting on excel spreadsheets the results of the tests that OTHER COMPANIES make and Regeneron fills with drug product. So if you are truly a device development engineer, don't come here, you will be quickly disappointed. STAY AWAY.

If you read all the other reviews, you will see that the good reviews are done by interns, coops and fresh outs which Regeneron thrives on, hence the phrase "Ignorance is Bliss". Professionals know better.

HR department is terrible.  As a senior engineer, I couldn't get them to return my phone call about a job posting.  AND SO YOU DON'T THINK IT 'S JUST ME COMPLAINING, MY BOSS CALLED AND THEY WOULDN'T RETURN HIS CALL EITHER.  IMAGINE THAT......

Management is terrible at the site level.  They are arrogant, non-caring and under qualified to be Managers.  They were mostly science majors and promoted to Manager level with no training in Management.

If you are truly a device engineer, my best advise is try Boston, or northern NJ.
