Pros

Happy hours, $10k yearly education reimbursement, and some great coworkers.

Cons

Ever since the re-organization from Medimmune to AstraZeneca, I felt that there were no growth opportunity and that the higher ups were more focused on promoting themselves rather than leading the team. I also had the worst company leave experience, where instead of the managers asking me for my data, they went through the HR. The HR told me I could leave a week early from my last official day in exchanged for the link to my data. When I kept asking the HR for this to be written in an email, HR threaten me that I would be escorted out of the building and that they will not provide me anything that I could use against company. Feeling uncomfortable and threatened, I gave them the data, and they deactivated my badge before I could return everything to the company. Really upset about my leave experience after 5.5 years with this company.

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.
