Pros

Compensation and benefits are comparable to other leading pharmaceutical industries. The site is growing and new opportunities will come.

Cons

The focus on the mandate to go to the office 3x a week is excessive. I find myself constantly distressed if something happens and I have to explain myself. This also leads to a lack of focus on what is important: to deliver high quality work. Also, for people working on global teams, the office interaction is not as important for collaboration.

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.
