Okay but not great

Pros

MedImmune has good prospects and a dynamic work environment. A lot of people care about doing work that helps patients.

Cons

Fairly political environment with poor functional management and lack of 360 feedback results in an environment that disengages good/great employees.Development of managers and future leaders and managers is nearly non-existent. Current senior leaders seem to want to micromanage all decisions. Opportunities for lateral moves are also just not there leaving lower level employees feeling that there is no where for them to go at MedImmune. Reward and recognition for good work is very poor.

Pros

Quality of the people and the science is generally very high. Innovation is encouraged and evident in the Research teams I mostly interact with. Really strong teamwork ethic, which makes the site a very friendly and sociable place to be.

Cons

Recent budgetary cuts and falling headcount has reduced morale - particularly at bench scientist level. Salaries based on UK average for each job description so not very competitive.
