Pros

My immediate colleagues are great and hard working but we lack the praise and recognition that we deserve from the top down. The atmosphere is generally good but I have worked at better places.

Cons

Poor recognition and reward sees the normal. There are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. The chiefs are more concerned about their personal wealth rather than developing products. AZ have recently purchased the company and it all seems a bit chaotic. No doubt budgets will be cut to a minimum in 2009 after AZ paid considerably more than the market thought MedImmune was worth.

Pros

Compensation, opportunities for lateral move.

Cons

Chernobyl levels of toxicity, clique culture, backstabbing, dinosaur era management culture especially in the senior leadership ranks. Employees are treated and discarded like numbers.
