Pros

Ability to telework, benefits and aesthetics of company space in Gaithersburg

Cons

Only 10% of workers get promoted per year and the rest of the qualified people already working at the next level get put on a waiting list for next year. Each manager only gets to put a certain number of people up, so in a year when more of their direct reports are ready, they have to choose the "top" performers. People work in silos and there's a lot of waste in the company, change can't be implemented with managers who want to keep the status quo. Not much opportunities for growth. No trust or faith among group members. No transparency in leadership operations. No leadership.

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.
