Pros

Smart/Qualified Coworkers Benefits Salary Work Life Balance Building Amenities

Cons

For a company that values in-person interaction, they tend to have terrible locations. Nobody wants to live in Wilmington DE, Ohio or Indiana. Talking to European colleagues, it sounds like they also chose very unappealing locations in Europe as well. I love the company and the work I do. I really like my coworkers. I still can't picture myself here long term, because the locations are just awful. It's also strange that job function is not considered with any discussion around remote work. Most people in my role go to the office to sit on calls for most of the day. We literally do not work with anyone in the building. Yet, we are required to be in the building 3 days a week.

Pros

Pay and benefits Fitness Center Shuttle to Metro Daycare center set to open soon Employee Friday social with good food

Cons

HR always support management. Employees needn't bother to defend themselved. Poor management and lack of promotions is why people leave. In particular, black minorities are harshly treated, without potential for promotions. Curious how most of your Black employees are never ready for promotions while average performers that are other races get managerial opportunities and promotions. Nepotism and favoritism in many departments; do not recommend that black employees bother to apply at Medimmune. Don"t get caught playing those zen games or watching TV during working hours!

Pros

Being able to make a difference in people's lives. Fitness center. Decent pay for the area, good health benefits. Company socials. Promising pipeline.

Cons

Cons outweigh anything positive. So many challenges: managers have favorites. Getting information from teams is like pulling teeth. Constantly have to chase people down to get an answer. Promotions are based off favorites & not based off talent/ abilities.
