Pros

good product and good people. In the past allowed for individuals to determine how to manage their territories and achieve their goals.

Cons

slowly replacing all things MedImmune to all thing AZ. Losing respect and influence in offices due to new Big Pharma attitude.

Pros

The company is growing so lots of opportunities & pay is pretty good

Cons

Have no real drive to keep good work/life balance for their employees, lots of politics and favoritism, no one in middle management seems to be held accountable for poor metrics, very little is done to improve and keep employees.

Pros

Nice building. Good work environment. Good benefits. OK salary.

Cons

Notoriously slow and difficult to get promoted. The Waltham site is on the edge of an active volcano. Although it has been gone through a series of reduction, the worst has not come, yet. Brilliant scientists are leaving the company.
