Pros

Good benefits Good people to work with Variety in workload

Cons

Too much work + additional work streams outside day to day role making it harder to complete project tasks without burning out Project process is not as slick as it could be, which drives down efficiency Lots of administrative activities for the teams, feels a bit disjointed and constantly relies on memos and 3 or 4 different methods of communicating - storing documents Big discrepancies in pay across the team Difficult to speak up and be honest/have opinions Culture making it increasingly difficult to hold others to account - with no blame culture a lot of people fly under the radar doing the bare minimum while others are overloaded Favouritism regardless of how hard you work - if they like you, you'll be promoted

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.
