      Pros

      Excellent pay, bonus and benefits. Many of my colleagues are outstanding, experienced individuals.

      Cons

      Since being acquired by Astra Zeneca the company has gone down hill. Many talented people left and have been eliminated. Very sad to see. If you can get a position here that is great but you will worry about losing your job every 6-9 months.

      A "sales job" with very little to do with selling anything

      Pharmaceutical sales specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is decent and the job is inconceivably easy. A pharma rep that tells you they work hard is either extremely naive about what it means to work or is a very dishonest pharma rep.

      Cons

      Instability of the company and industry is the worst part. I can't imagine going back to an industry where layoff worries are a constant concern. Stay away from this industry.

      Major Culture Change

      Lead technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Culture changing as a result of new people joining the company at the higher levels and bringing in new ideas. - AstraZeneca benefits (the ones that have started are generally nicer than the older Medimmune ones)

      Cons

      Culture change is having negative side effects on lower level employees: - Moral is low and many employees have left for other area companies - Workers are paid a target of ~80% of the average for someone in there role in the area (per companies own compensation report given to each employee) - Shift sizes shrinking in order to focus on lean manufacturing and company is not filling positions as they open (including business critical positions such as lead and supervisor) - HR cannot explain policies when asked to do so (e.g. "How many vacation hours do I earn and when do I earn them because suddenly my paycheck shows something different?")
