Pros
Salary, benefits, tuition reimbursement, company culture... it's all fantastic.

I can't think of any. Truly a great place to work. Strong corporate culture so if you can't stomach that then be prepared to look elsewhere.
- 4.09 Feb 2021Pharmacovigilance OfficerCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearBengaluru
Pros
You get to work on wide range of activities ranging from health authority queries to signal management to aggregate reports The management is broad minded and in most cases the culture is a reflection of Sweden/UK where the company is based out of They value your inputs and invest well in training and team based activities. Patient safety is one among its five core values and all your work is patient centric.
Cons
The tools they use are outdated. Due to this the burden shifts to the employee to manually manage things on their own. Whether it's project management or data analysis, you have to manage yourself. Not adequate parking facility for the cars in the building where the office is based out of. Due to this they actively encourage carpooling. No cab facility for employees. This will add to the soft costs (travel expenditure). However for levels E and above there is car lease facility.

Pros
Everyone at Astrazeneca is lovely, there is a lot of support there, great benefits such as buying holidays, an online doctor and private healthcare which has helped. They have a great company culture and everyone from the UK country president to senior managers are really lovely to talk to

There has been a restructure every year since I started, you really need to champion your own development and speak up if you want to grow.

Pros
Synagis working environment and customers. Co-Workers. MedImmune culture in the beginning was amazing but then AZ took over and changed everything.
Cons
Worried about job security every 6 months. Upper management basically deleted MedImmune. The employees left working on Synagis don't have much support and impossible to work the amount of business in the territory. Morale is low.

HR is working for name sake and not considering the points provided by an employee. Thats the reason employees getting exit in large
- 1.03 Feb 2021DirectorCurrent Employee, more than 5 yearsCambridge, England
Pros
Pay and benefits can be good, but you may be paid much less that your peers depending on a number of factors outside of your control. Favouritism is rife.
Cons
Very little evidence of leaders living the regularly pushed AZ values. Toxic culture where you are not safe to have a view that’s different from your leader.
