Pros

Top four reasons to work for AZ: Pay, Benefits, vacation time

Cons

If you are not part of the good ol boy network you have no shot on moving upward in your career, and you become a target for the tenured sales force (with managements blessing) to be the next one out. The back stabbing in the Albany district made it a horrible place to work.

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.
