Pros

Great pay and the health insurance is better than I've ever seen. Nice campus and facilities. Middle managers are some of the best I've ever worked with (especially the women--incredibly smart, creative, thoughtful and supportive).

Cons

Severely overworked, terrible corporate communication, constant restructuring, nepotism is the only way to move up, and leadership is basically a frat. All men, all white, all the same type of bro-personality (sometimes they even dress the same), and the only way to move up is if you're one of them OR the 1 woman they keep around for appearances. And yes, in case you're wondering, the frat boys do make stereotypical sexist comments towards her.

Pros

Great Benefits, PTO, Tuition reimbursement, 401k match, company gym, and good cafe

Cons

Management can be really iffy and overbearing. Can be unreasonable with expectations and demands. Favoritism can be a pretty big part here as well.

Pros

Medimmune itself is a great company. The team members are knowledgeable and personable.

Cons

CAS is the technical clinical study build team(EDC) within clinical data management(CDM) The team morale has suffered tremendously. Micromanagement and Cronyism of the worst kind. Ineffectiveness, incredible incompetence, insecurity and a hopeless communication are all hall marks of this group. Team members put up with it just because they need a job. There is NO scope for technical growth, independence or empowerment The entire CDM group knows this and they put up with it simply because they are forced to. This has created a toxic work culture in and otherwise great group. It is so bad that two new full time employees( including a senior manager) quit in the recent past. This can be verified via linkedin. The CAS group has no credibility within the CDM team and internal customers actively avoid wherever possible. Complaints to HR unfortunately go no where. It is a suffocating experience to be in the CAS team. There is no growth, team morale is at its lowest ever.
