Pros

Lots of opportunity to take on new roles. Some strong leaders in the organization. Pay pretty well relative to company peers.

Cons

Senior leaders in company (now almost all gone) made kind of a mess of the culture. The performance review process was not motivational to employees. Company did not value employees that had alot of time with company, valued younger folks taking on new responsibilities.

Pros

Good training courses. Good benefits.

Cons

Back-stabbing is a way of life at MedImmune. Poor leadership encourages a CYA mentality instead of teamwork. The fighting from within has caused a miserable environment.
