Pros

The industrial postdoc at AZ provides a great opportunity to have a better understanding of how research is conducted within a pharmaceutical company. The projects are aligned with the hot topics in research. Great possibility of networking. Each AZ postdoc has an academic supervisor, which allows the postdoc to keep a foot in academia.

Cons

There is absolutely no guarantee of employment within AZ at the end of the postdoc fellowship. The postdoc projects are no connected to the pipelines which allows the publication of manuscripts but creates a disconnect with other permanent employees in the team.

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.
