Pros

I have been working here for over 10 years and have seen many of the usual changes that large organisations go through. AZ is now experiencing a significant up-turn in its prospects in spite of some high-profile drugs coming to the end of their patent protection. There has been a significant shift in focus to a far more science-led approach to investment and prioritisation. At this time, the value of good data and the insights that may be gained from it with the right skills and technologies is finally gaining more serious senior management support. Great personal development support if you are prepared to express your preferences clearly. I did not experience a poor line manager during my time. Enthusiastic, friendly and mentoring culture.

Cons

Could be more willingness for home working. There is some home working permitted but the preference is still on being in an office, even if your teams are distributed across multiple sites and countries.
