Pros

Company car to drive for business and personal use, laptop, decent compensation, prestigious career path, no-carry Rx sales position, fun team to work with,

Cons

Forever shifting Big Pharma industry (i.e. Little to no job security), "Big brother always watches you"---when the industry shifted to electronic marketing pieces, they began tracking and scrutinizing over every single electronic tap---it turned into quite the micromanagement situation, which I was not fond of.

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.
