Pros

Finally adequate IT support for the field. Fringe benefits such as health care insurance are superior, but the employees are having to make greater contributions for their coverage.

Cons

AZ has made serious missteps in launching and pulling-thru their products. Middle and upper management seem to turn a deaf ear towards representatives and DMs that have good and sound advice to help the company and sell specific products. The influence network is still alive and well at AZ and that is unfortunate for employees that really care about the company and the patients that could benefit from its products.

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.
