Pros

Good benefits: lunch card, transportation allowance, Christmas allowances, a comprehensive learning platform for marketing and IT fields, budget for enrolling in external courses, etc. Hybrid work model 3 days from the office.

Cons

Discrimination: this problem is serious, I have heard a few conversations against foreigners, E.g. working with foreigners feels weird and talking in English lowers efficiency. During business meetings, English is not used despite working with international teams. When I reported this issue, I was advised to consult my psychologist if I feel bad, instead of solving the issue. Poor team management: managers are not interested in learning actual trends and challenges so the objectives set do not make sense. Team size is growing too fast and doesn't match the customer demand, as a result, new hires were displaced.

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.
