Pros

Company treats employees well, even as re-structuring and downsizing continues. Plenty of notice of re-structuring and strategy changes, good salary and benefits, and a great severance package, if it comes to that.

Cons

Tough work environment as patent expirations loom and downsizing continues. Unfortunately, it's part of this industry unless new compounds can be developed to replace those expiring.

Pros

Good salary and benefits. The biotech culture is alive. Happy hours, off hour functions, and a real sense of family are some of the things you notice that make MedImmune stand out from other companies.

Cons

Some of the management isnt the strongest. Its very hard to get into MedI but once you get in, its also hard to get people out. It seems like with all the potential out in the workforce, MedI holds on to some people who may not be worth holding on to.

Pros

Very people focused and great place to work. Good span of control for supervisors and managers 5-20. Good opportunities to develop.

Cons

Continuous cost cutting and restructuring due loss of revenue / patent exclusivity. Work-life balance for direct labor.
