Pros

Flexible hours, good benefits, large number of knowledgable scientists. A lot of opportunities to work in the area most satisfying and fulfilling for the individual. Good (and improving) publication policy.

Cons

Bad intranet infrastructure (often it is easier to find relevant information outside e.g. using google, than inside) Often data are not easily accessible and hoarded. Middle level management not well qualified.

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.
