Pros

competitive benefits Depending on your department, opportunities for growth family friendly neighborhood successful company

Cons

*horrible work life balance (despite great executives/benefits the average worker is always overwhelmed) *promotions mean nothing in R&D but more work: My promotion was a cut in pay (from working constant overtime to a salaried employee = you're doing a great job and we want to keep you, let's increase you're title, and take away you're overtime) *always a constant focus on upper management and how important they are. if you're below scientist II you are really just a number to medimmune * excessive stress and work load in R&D despite the effort to reduce this through better benefits. your workload will never decrease. *decisions are made on your behalf and your voice means nothing

Pros

Great benefits and good salary. Work atmosphere is generally cordial. Promotion and title depend on the department you are in. Commercial tends to see little upward movement and is very chaotic due to the ongoing integration with AZ. R&D gets a lot of support/resources.

Cons

Promotion in commercial is subject at best--much depends on timing and openings. Many stay in the same position for years due to stagnant growth.
