AstraZeneca reviews

-Your success and happiness at MedImmune is completely dependent upon the department & manager for which you work. -The cons I am about to describe are specific to a particular group within a department that I work for and which has a negative reputation generally within the department of research. *Management create an environment of unhealthy competition *Management have favorites who are supported while other non-favorites are 'over-looked'. *Management hold their employees accountable for issues rather than taking responsibility & leading by example and setting the precedent. *Management lead through fear & intimidation *Team work is non-existent *Politics between managers disrupt scientific progress due to unhealthy competition & the 'fight' for territory. *MedImmune promotes career development with regard to inter & intra department exchange but this usually becomes political and problematic for the employee. *No career development opportunities
