Pros

Lot of organizational changes, Good work life balance,

Cons

HR support in India one of the worst. Employee salary components are decided by the whims and fancy of local HR (Bangalore). I was in a global role based out in Bangalore and the support was pathetic. Even though I resigned in October, they didnt think it was apt to pay my bonus. The worst part is that they decided this and at no point of time the employee was consulted or informed. The HR practices and support is pathetic.

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.
