Pros

There will always be favoritism wherever you go but if you work hard enough, the actual good leaders will recognize your efforts and help you on your career journey at AZ. I was lucky enough to have managers who actually saw this, others weren’t as fortunate. Pay is decent, considering I came from a CRO that paid very little. Bonus structure was good as long as the company performed well. Work/life balance wasn’t great…when I first started there, my team manager yelled at our team for not meeting goals (even though some of us were meeting our individual goals) and said “you guys are being paid more so you should do more”. This really helped bring up our team morale *please note sarcasm* Thankfully, I was able to move to another team where the sup and manager actually worked together to keep our team motivated and treated us like team members rather than plebeians. Overall, I had a positive experience at AZ by the end and was sad to leave my team.

Cons

Voicing opinions that may be negative in the eyes of senior leadership will likely get you black balled

Pros

standard benefits are generous: paid time off, health, dental, company shutdown 1 week end of year, etc.,; avenues to interact with internationally colleagues and teams

Cons

toxic culture at Waltham bioscience despite a generally better culture globally, gossip and favoritism, experiences are dependent on team and manager within department, and, dishonest management is not evaluated critically
