Pros

Nice offices Brand new equipment Work Atmosphere

Cons

Workload/compensation relation is not balanced It is almost impossible to move if you dont feel comfortable with your position. HR people sometimes hires workers with ZERO english skills A lot of childish Micro Management We asked for a training course, the manager literally said to us: I can bring indian people to teach you, how many indian pleople you want? NO salary increase Vacation denials Instead of looking for ways to help you to improve, they prefer to fire you. In the US you can do home office as much as you want but try that in GDL! People from HR wants you to be there always, if not they will scold you.

Pros

I imagine this is very dependent on line management but I find my team and supervisors to be true champions of a high performing and highly compassionate work culture. I find my work challenging and rewarding, and have had opportunities to learn and grow and be rewarded and recognized for my output. No job is perfect but I’m truly happy to work here and at a time when AZ is truly rising like a rocket.

Cons

Like any massive global corporate entity, things can sometimes move slowly and it can be challenging to navigate a high number of constantly evolving priorities and initiatives. That being said, AZ is very clear about its north stars and values which makes it possible to prioritize work that has the most impact and alignment with the company’s ambition and business prerogatives. 60% office attendance policy is also a bit funny when oftentimes I am on Teams calls with colleagues sitting in other areas of the world.
