Pros

I feel I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to have worked for AstraZeneca. They were always compassionate about family life and assisted with family problems. They provided me with a fare income which gave me a good standard of living. There was some mixed feeling at some points with the politics of the company but overall, I couldn't have spent the majority of my working life with a better company.

Cons

My manager always pushed me to the limits of my ability. I was rewarded as such and I new I could not have done more. Alderley Park is a beautiful park. with lovely surroundings. The company provided Books with nature trails, which we could take our family on at weekend. This was just one of the small benefits which they provided. They seemed to have a good interview techniques as most of the employees were nice people and mostly remained for their working life. This provided a great community spirit.

Pros

A professional and structured environment with emphasis on employee and customer satisfaction. Working with them was always interesting and opportunities for employee advancement were high on the agenda. A team spirit was present - everyone felt included and part of the bigger picture with shares being given out and private medical carej provided to all.

Cons

In the past, some of the leaders were 'power crazy' and therefore not as interested in the welfare of their staff. That was dealt with over the years I worked there and a better environment ensued.
