Pros

AstraZeneca, great company in general to work for.

Cons

Technology does not live up to the AZ values. Particularly in the UK and the Macclesfield site. Very little diversity, next to no people of colour or differing backgrounds within what is a large organisation of over 200 people. Nepotism is rampant with jobs going to mates, all from the same socio background. Decision making is not transparent, training is poor unless one of the 'chosen' ones

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.
