Great place to work, and hopefully, it will keep getting better

Business Outlook

Pros

AZ is a great place to work because of their genuine concern for the well being of their employees and sincere commitment to finding meaningful medicines to improve patients lives. Its feels good to be a part of something like that.

Cons

There is a sense of "ready, fire, aim" leadership, that leads to continuous restructuring. Unfortunately, many employees have become desensitized to these continuous organizational changes (which rarely make it to full fruition), and it makes it less impactful.

Diversity, global exposure, collaboration, and opportunity. AZ has a lot going for it in a difficult, competitive environment. As an organization, they will not sit back and watch the competition pass them by.

Over 13 years, there have been many significant reorganizations, if you can't handle change, this may not be the place for you.
