Pros

Cons
*horrible work life balance (despite great executives/benefits the average worker is always overwhelmed) *promotions mean nothing in R&D but more work: My promotion was a cut in pay (from working constant overtime to a salaried employee = you're doing a great job and we want to keep you, let's increase you're title, and take away you're overtime) *always a constant focus on upper management and how important they are. if you're below scientist II you are really just a number to medimmune * excessive stress and work load in R&D despite the effort to reduce this through better benefits. your workload will never decrease. *decisions are made on your behalf and your voice means nothing
