Pros

- Passionate people who care about and think a lot about patients. - Smart people who are experienced in various verticals of healthcare.

Cons

– Moves slooooooow; no psychological safety. – HR really only sees people as a resource - ready to let go of people who they think won't be useful for them or may cause them more "unnecessary" work. – Lack of experience in handling international candidates. – Obviously new to WFH/Remote working, so they don't know how to build a culture around that at all.

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.
