Pros

Great R&D sites and facilities, passionate people, many carreer opportunities

Cons

Style over substance, no clear direction or long-term vision, leadership has huge ambitions but does not create an environment where real innovation can happen. The "Cool Science" strategy and terrible "new modalities" pipeline encourages scientists to focus on their publication records instead of bringing new medicines to the clinic

Pros

AstraZeneca hire and live by 5 key values which promote a speak up culture that empowers all employees. My experience of management has also been very positive, with excellent coaching and development opportunities provided.

Cons

In R&D we work collaboratively across UK, US and Sweden. I like this global collaboration but it can add some barriers to getting things done and travel between sites is increasingly limited.

Pros

Interesting science Open, collaborative work environment Approachable and visible senior leadership Target bonus typical, and actual bonus frequently well in excess of target

Cons

Salary below industry average. Very Europe-centric (headcount, but also opportunities). Biology/Chemistry are king, all other scientists are considered support functions. Career ladder tops out fast, progression after that seems to favor those in UK/Sweden who've served many years at company.
