Pros

Encouraged to learn a lot of different skills, friendly coworkers, supportive work environment. My manager has been phenomenal but that's just one of many, I don't hear many complaints from coworkers under different managers though. Good parental leave policy (I think 2 months as of 2021) and flexible working hours with some work from home possible if necessary.

Cons

Was understaffed for a bit but they brought in contractors to help with the workload

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.
