      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible working hours Opportunity to work cross-functionally on projects Opportunity to work globally

      Cons

      Incompetent middle management Appalling support for employees (HR, OT, benefits system instead of higher pay and pension contributions) Lots of unnecessary governance and committees leading to slow development Slow progress in non-scientific respects Presentee-ism culture leads to poor work/life balance Disparate team across sites, no sense of centre or belonging

      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.
