Pros

Good remuneration. Interesting work. Flexible working environment. Some really skilled and motivated colleagues, genuine enthusiasm.

Cons

Upheaval due to move to Cambridge location. Downside of flexible working culture is the rise of the 9-to-5-ers now the site will close in 3 years time. Workforce tends to be cliquey which affects career development. There will be substantial new recruitment for the move, so it remains unclear what the future culture will be like. Shareholder influence may force the Pfizer issue if (when?) it comes up again this would be the end of AZ.

Pros

Great pay,work life balance and benefits. Fantastic place to start and continue a career in pharmaceuticals. I would recommend working here.

Cons

Pod selling and your manager can make or break your career. Went through layoffs every other year. Training away from your family can be up to a month when you first start
