Pros
Medivation had a great vision and treated its employees superbly. There were many opportunities for advancement and to move into other areas of interest.
Cons
Some managers were big on micro-management. Early research initiatives were often very secretive.

Pros
Great vision, good product and portfolio, Saving patient lives, fairly competitive salary, good benefits, good location, free drinks- coffee- fruits- snack-food
Cons
Small company mentality. Original employees combative of changes. refuse to grow and change their business practices for the better. Lots of clans and gossiping. Poor and non-existent processes. Promotion/ advancement is on the favoritism basis instead of merit. Incompetent senior leadership. Inefficiency.
Advice to Management
Good job selling the company to Pfizer.

Was at Medivation for less than a year and now it's Pfizer, but what a wonderful and talented staff. Loved the smarts blended with a wonderful sense of fun, camaraderie and kindness.
Cons
When a big company buys a small one, so of the team and family-oriented culture is lost.
