Pros

Work life balance is pretty good Co workers are fun to be around

Cons

Managers are pretty incompetent & you will end up doing most of the work yourself.Since company is based in the UK, company morale is fairly low in the US. Lots of pointless meetings on your calendar that you have to attend. You will end up doing most of the work since colleagues are lazy and management doesnt care to fix issue at hand. I would sum it up best as being on a island and the only tools you have are yourself.

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.
