      MedImmune sucks!

      Pros

      There are no pros at MedImmune. All the things you look for in a job (respect from coworkers, work life balance, career progession) are non-existent at MedImmune

      Cons

      The people here act very childish and immature. The management sucks, three people will teach you something three different ways. The work/life balance sucked. My direct manager was terrible, she was always in peoples business, she loved to gossip and micromanage.

      Pros

      MedImmune is being funded significantly by AZ and is still growing. It's an exciting place to work for a big company. Almost small company like with priorities changing quickly and frequently and LOTS to do.

      Cons

      Unfortunately MedImmune's well placed intentions of focusing and creating more efficiency have created an environment where junior-mid level people are bored with what they're doing, too sheltered from the big picture but yet absolutely crushed by a large volume of work. The desired flat structure that they seek seems to rob people of career growth - not just because they can't have direct reports but because it's no longer an environment where challenging opportunities are afforded.

      Worst Career Mistake

      Pros

      You get a paycheck and sometimes it is even correct. They offer indoor plumbing. The cafeteria food is okay.

      Cons

      Most dysfunctional place I have ever worked and just hope I can get out without setting my career back. Pipeline is a pipe dream. Management doesn't understand science even the ones with a science background readily ignore data. Support functions are horrible and when something gets screwed-up - which will happen regularly - the fingering pointing and blame passing begins. Performance management is a joke - you can meet all your goals and still get a negative rating and denied your bonus. Complaints about maltreatment are ignored.
