Pros

Enormous encouragement from managers to individual development Possibility to remote working (4x in a month) High Salary Modern and comfortable office with all needed facilities and even more (PlayStation 4 etc.) Clear career and development path with possibilities to specialization. Making big investment in people. Eco-friendly company taking responsibilities of their impact on environment. Great sharing platform - workplace.

Cons

The size of the company - you can feel small. You are part of something bigger and the work of course matters, but you are not the only one that does the right thing. So much timesheets to be filled. You don't know what other departments in your site actually do. New tools are provided and employees are forced to get to know with them and use them.

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.
