Pros

AstraZeneca ticks every one of the boxes I value as a great place to work: true focus on the patient, an exciting innovative pipeline, staff that works together as a team (family), focus on success of the drug pipeline but also the individual AZ associate, multiple career paths that evolve with time to meet the needs of the day. Management asks the associates for their vision of the future and take their suggestions seriously. Yes, we are busy, but when you work as a team with a focus it does not seem like work.

Cons

We are victims of our own success, we have had an incredible success rate with data read-outs and submissions. We need more like minded people to help up on our quest to help patients!

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.
