Pros

Lots of innovation and science! If you're a 20-something, the beanbag rooms, pool tables, video games and Friday beer/wine/food happy hours will absolutely be a thrill. Some departments are great to work for, others, not so much (mine is in the later category).

Cons

Some departments function across AstraZeneca and MedI, others are separate - lots of growing pains and change and lots of fragmentation. Don't expect raises over 1.5-2.0% but bonuses can be good. Growth opportunities seem to depend on whether or not you are on a "hot" project.

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.
