Pros

Great benefits, good work life balance, really great team (I work in IT), best employer in Cambridge, lots of opportunities for training and development, feel valued, would not want to work for another employer in Cambridge.

Cons

None really except commuting for some as in Cambridge (one of the offices is central) and Cambridge can be expensive but lots of transport options so not really a con. No other cons.

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.
