AstraZeneca reviews

Company culture is really negative. 1) Office attendance is individually tracked and is used for determining reward decisions (including bonus) and disciplinary corrective purposes. If you are a people manager, the attendance of your line reports may impact your bonus or result in disciplinary action if you have not actively managed your line reports in line with office attendance expectations. This is applicable only to UK, Sweden and US employees (all other markets do not have these rules!) and it does not matter if you do not have any team to meet face to face in the office. Most of people in Cambridge actually spend their days in the office (where there are not enough meeting rooms or quiet spaces) connected to Virtual calls. 2) There is no transparency. Employees are treated like kids. 3) Hiring process for internal roles is incredibly unprofessional with hiring managers ghosting the candidates and starting the hiring process before being sure what they were actually looking for.

Work is very fast paced and some seasons it's hard to have a work-life balance. It's normal anywhere I guess...
