Pros

Great pipeline and science. Great colleagues who are smart and care about patients and doing their best

Cons

Chaotic environment to work in, desk space is limited and no quiet rooms or team rooms are available for meetings. There is limited ability to work remotely and are constantly monitoring employees. It is sad to see what happened to this great company. Many colleagues I speak to are actively looking for another job with more flexibility. Most don’t want to leave their jobs but they will and the company policies and restrictive, no trust environment has left them no choice.

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.
