Pros

Pay and benefits are pretty good and the science is first class. New AZ site in Cambridge looks interesting but will we see MedImmune totally vanish when that site opens.

Cons

AZ, AZ, AZ. AZ own MedImmune and have ripped the non science support areas from Finance to IT to shreds. So scientists spend an ridiculous amount of time doing non science activities because there is not enough support for MedImmune specific ways of working.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and not much else.

Cons

Poor management practices and lack of communication. Management is closed doors and little communication allowed for employee issues. Things get pushed back and you fear your job security. Trusting your coworkers looks to be questionable here.
