MedImmune can be challenging

Scientist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

MedImmune is part a giant of a company with entrepreneurial spirit. It's like having a blank check to develop products for a small company. Therefore there's a lot of different things to work on. Lots of things to be exposed to, a lot of great scientist to work with. Lots of exciting things to look forward to.

Cons

MedImmune is working to get out from under the cloud. Despite the rain, the pace hadn't slowed down. You really need to dry yourself off and really hit the ground hard. It's very competitive, which makes it hard to climb ladders without a PhD
