AstraZeneca reviews

Have now become extremely autocratic when is comes from working from home. Must be in the office 3 days a week otherwise your bonus will be affected AND your manager's bonus. Seems very unlike AZ but there you have it. This is being strictly applied, I know people are now looking at other jobs as the distance to work is not compatible with a work/life balance.

1. Tracked office attendance policy 3 days a week with threat of lost bonus or disciplinary. Introduced in uk in January after communication just before Christmas. 2. HR are just yes people with no autonomy and appear to believe they are above UK employment law.All decisions dictated by SET , even very senior managers appear powerless to influence decisions that affect their teams . 3. Flexible working agreements are usually denied despite clear business benefits and approved by line managers. 4. Lack of office space , specifically and Cambridge .This means that every day many employees do not have a desk , parking or access to quiet space to actually do their job . Leading to stress, anxiety and back and neck problems from having to use cafe area as an office .Clear breach of health and safety guidelines . 5. Occupational health have been advised that there has to be a clinical reason to grant home working , even employees with serious ongoing health issues are struggling to secure flexibility with the ‘office attendance policy’. 6. Company values are not adhered to , patient focused companies would care about staff wellbeing- they don’t . And as for a ‘ speak up’ culture , if you speak up no one is listening. 7. Zero carbon policy is an interesting one when forcing commute for no reasons . Global colleagues not able to travel to in person important meetings but senior executives appear to be exempt from this .
