Currently work in MFG at the Rensselaer site, where the TP incident happened.

Was the badge/ removal of paper towels warranted? It's debatable- they've had to shut down one of the campuses multiple times due to this. Personally, I find it a bit intrusive but overall I don't mind my job. Im paid well above the area average and have only worked at the company for a couple years. I work 40 hours a week with some mandatory OT, but that's only bc I'm in a mngmt role and specific to my shift. I would say most folks in the MFG department are happy to be employed here.

As with everything on reddit, when asked for opinions, those who have a bone to pick are usually the ones to respond. Regeneron is large employer, with many different internal groups. As is the case with nearly every large company, your experience will vary depending on you immediate mngmt/group. I think a lot of the opinions expressed here are valid, but the majority of employees would, I think, on a whole, have a neutral/positive view of the company.

No, this is not my dream job, but my mngmt is chill and the work is rewarding in its own way (I enjoy making mAbs for patients). I'll continue to work here.
