Pros

Good benefits & perks but that’s about it.

Cons

If you are not an office politic player you will be sideline. Rather hire outsiders than promote internally. They tend to hire incompetent managers & often promotion is given based on biased preferences (not by merit). Unfriendly employee competition. Senior leaders don’t lead by examples. Incentive scheme not great. Lower than other pharma.

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.
