Blame Culture, managers encourage you to NOT give bad news - Anonymous employee AstraZeneca Employee Review

AZ, what a shame. This place is blame central. Managers and Directors protecting their own roles by not wanting to give bad news that their reports tell them about and then they blame them when things go wrong. Pretty horrendous place to work if you are not a Scientist. Absolute obsession with outsourcing everything or in case of IT sending it to India, where they employee 5 times the people at less cost but get half the competence, such a bad model. AZ trying to put a shine on everything with their new HQ in cambridge which is quickly turning into a lavish money pit and no doubt the CEO's foley.
