Pros

Great work place environment and self aware about the need for improvement in certain areas such as career development and lessening lengthy decision making. This is refreshing to see a company looking to improve and make their work place better.

Cons

Too process oriented, lenghthy decision process and can be hierarchical....but they recognize this and are putting steps in place to address this. The Sr. Leaders credibility has been questionable...but with the new CEO and re orgs in place, they are addressing this too.

Pros

I imagine this is very dependent on line management but I find my team and supervisors to be true champions of a high performing and highly compassionate work culture. I find my work challenging and rewarding, and have had opportunities to learn and grow and be rewarded and recognized for my output. No job is perfect but I’m truly happy to work here and at a time when AZ is truly rising like a rocket.

Cons

Like any massive global corporate entity, things can sometimes move slowly and it can be challenging to navigate a high number of constantly evolving priorities and initiatives. That being said, AZ is very clear about its north stars and values which makes it possible to prioritize work that has the most impact and alignment with the company’s ambition and business prerogatives. 60% office attendance policy is also a bit funny when oftentimes I am on Teams calls with colleagues sitting in other areas of the world.
