Pros

- The company has great resources and study materials. -There are many courses and seminar to extend your knowledge. - The general impression I got from my peers is quite positive.

Cons

- I was placed in a reasonably competitive department and my supervisor was not helpful at all. -When there is bully behaviour from their permanent staff, my boss took their side without listening to my side of the story. - There is no support system for the industry students to review our department and supervisions. - The temp agency was dealing with our payment weekly and they frequently make mistakes.

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.
