Pros
Working in a small site (<150 employees), friendship environment; very good collaboration between employees; knowledgeable and trustable local managers; various stimulating interactions with public laboratories (i.e. McGill Pain Centre) and others world wide AZ sites.
Cons
As a big company, a business purpose doesn’t fit always the scientific goals in R&D, especially regarding timeline restriction. Our projects are mostly depending of high level executive managers, which also depend of investors, and in this period of restriction in pharmaceutic, R&D is suffering a lot that could have a big impact on the long term.
