Pros

MedImmune is being funded significantly by AZ and is still growing. It's an exciting place to work for a big company. Almost small company like with priorities changing quickly and frequently and LOTS to do.

Cons

Unfortunately MedImmune's well placed intentions of focusing and creating more efficiency have created an environment where junior-mid level people are bored with what they're doing, too sheltered from the big picture but yet absolutely crushed by a large volume of work. The desired flat structure that they seek seems to rob people of career growth - not just because they can't have direct reports but because it's no longer an environment where challenging opportunities are afforded.

Pros

I imagine this is very dependent on line management but I find my team and supervisors to be true champions of a high performing and highly compassionate work culture. I find my work challenging and rewarding, and have had opportunities to learn and grow and be rewarded and recognized for my output. No job is perfect but I’m truly happy to work here and at a time when AZ is truly rising like a rocket.

Cons

Like any massive global corporate entity, things can sometimes move slowly and it can be challenging to navigate a high number of constantly evolving priorities and initiatives. That being said, AZ is very clear about its north stars and values which makes it possible to prioritize work that has the most impact and alignment with the company’s ambition and business prerogatives. 60% office attendance policy is also a bit funny when oftentimes I am on Teams calls with colleagues sitting in other areas of the world.
