      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reasonable pay. Decent offices. Interesting work. Coworkers can be nice, although overall culture is toxic.

      Cons

      Very cut-throat in some areas, depending on leader. Excessive job-changing enables ladder-climbing, based on politics, without accountability for results from previous role. Overall, classic corporate environment. Prepare to navigate the sharks.

      Gaithersburg Site: Too much politics, too little science

      Senior scientist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Gaithersburg site is the previous MedImmune, it hosts 2-3 thousand employees here in a beautiful campus.

      Cons

      The Analytical Sciences department has been declining to such a mess where teams/groups are divided and throw dust to each other: *Senior managements (LT) here have been making decisions based on politics, not science. The extent of bureaucracy is higher than ever. *DO NOT expect your voices can be heard, despite they claim or even encourage you to speak up. Because when you do, you are doomed - there are several vengeful managers out here and they will do anything to "stabilize their sovereignty". *There are so many employees in this department yet there are so few who actually stay in labs and do the work - everyone seeks to be some kind of "leader" here which drives others to work for him/her. *SME is a joke, it shouldn't exist. *Talents turnaround is getting faster than ever.
