Pros

The AstraZeneca Frederick Site is an excellent place to gain experience in Biotech manufacturing with plenty of room for mentoring. It feels good to be making something that helps people.

Cons

Upper Management tends to get too wrapped up in strategy talk. Pressure from shareholders drives "infinite growth" which is unsustainable. Also some folks have issues with trying to climb the career ladder depending on the department.

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.
