Pros

-Nice cafeteria; expensive food -Nice facilities; temp control an issue in some buildings -Nice Fitness center -work at home allowed for some positions

Cons

--Employees stressed with multiple projects -They give out lots of 2's in evaluations (needs improvement ) so they don';t have to pay out bonuses.Many employees shafted this year -HR is not effective and slow to respond to basic HR issues. Who ever heard of an HR that does not review job descriptions. Why let managers hire people who do not have qualifications for the position -hiring freeze in place -no travel allowed, people cannot take external training anymore and they also balk at paying tuition reimbursement -many people I know are looking for another job but feel stuck in Maryland with few career options/companies in the area -inxperienced managers; bad behavior bullying tolerated -AZ collaboration not working out

Pros

The page is friendly to make an application.

Cons

As an experienced healthcare analytics and commercial leader, I applied to 104 U.S.-based positions at AstraZeneca between 2025 and 2026 that closely matched my background. Despite receiving interviews from peer organizations, I did not receive a single recruiter interaction. I fully understand the competitiveness of hiring, but such a complete lack of engagement raises questions about potential overreliance on AI screening or unintended bias.
