AstraZeneca reviews

1. Management is toxic, insecure, ineffective, incapable of doing their jobs to a rudimentary level and very behind the times. 2. No flexibility to working, current minimum mandatory 3 days on site (likely to increase to full time on site working), despite the building not having anywhere near enough space. 3. Career progression is poorly managed and you will be expected to fulfil the duties of higher grades (yes plural) with no recognition or compensation, often for years. It is possible to progress but it comes at the cost of any work-life balance you may have hoped for, and probably your health. 4. Management believes everyone is replaceable so they make no real effort to deal with reasonable concerns or problems. So essential skills and knowledge is being lost at an alarming rate. 5. Those great benefits, like bonus and LTI shares are held over you like a sword of Damocles. They can and will reduce them, even if you hit all of your goals and targets and there is no review process. 6. Management, because they are just that bad!!

The level of support from both management and HR is unfortunately very poor. Upon informing HR of issues related to discrimination I was told that this wasn’t not the avenue to do it, when asked about what avenue to take HR did not reply. I felt discriminated against by an employee and by HR and unfortunately no one, not even my line manager was supportive in helping myself feel comfortable.
