Pros

Good pay and benefits package, lovely workspace and facilities (when you are able to get a desk and parking space). The gym, bar and health centre are good perks.

Cons

Poor progression opportunities unless you shout the loudest. Competitive environment. Workloads are unbalanced across teams. Terrible location for the office on a practical level.

Pros

The page is friendly to make an application.

Cons

As an experienced healthcare analytics and commercial leader, I applied to 104 U.S.-based positions at AstraZeneca between 2025 and 2026 that closely matched my background. Despite receiving interviews from peer organizations, I did not receive a single recruiter interaction. I fully understand the competitiveness of hiring, but such a complete lack of engagement raises questions about potential overreliance on AI screening or unintended bias.
