Pros

-Great benefits including bonus and stock options -Amazing team that works hard to meet daily goals

Cons

As a company who “plays to win” and promotes an open culture, AstraZeneca doesn’t necessarily work with current employees to allow remote work. Nowadays, a lot of tasks and calls can be done at home without having to take an hour commute both ways or having to stay late to finish up something and losing that time you have left in your day to spend with family. A lot of times I feel like I have to choose work over other things that are more important.

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.
