Pros

Good opportunities when not working with California site. Headquarters site friendly and tolerate. At the California site you can a few really good technical and personable people to associate with.

Cons

Working in California site is difficult due to ex aviron employees still at medimmune. These aviron folks ruin the culture and work ethic at this site. New good people usually stay a few years to try and change culture, but have continued to fail and then move on to better things.
