Pros

Good benefiits, satisfaction of working for a company that is developing life-saving medicines.

Cons

Uncertainty abounds as a result of IT's major reorganization/transformation. Some processes that Medi IT had developed are being replaced by new processes for the global AstraZeneca IT organization. In some instances IT has taken several years worth of steps backwards. There's more uncertainty with the possibility of a takeover by Pfizer.

Pros

Most of my colleagues enjoyed good work and life balance and the very good company culture (Wilmington DE). People took care of each other and worked as a family. The base pay was not the best in the industry but the bonus amount was decent. People also enjoyed the stability and were focused on their work, until the big change happened in 2010.

Cons

The limited band levels makes it challenging to make climb career ladder. A PhD level scientist might stay as Senior Scientist forever.
