AstraZeneca reviews

They have introduced attendance tracking from Jan 2024, they announced this a week before the christmas break which was very distasteful and affected alot of peoples mental health. They mandate 3 days or 60% in office, monthly reports sent to manager who can start a disciplinaries if you do not comply. This affects your bonus. This is school children behaviour and I wouldn't recommend this company purely due to this awful new policy.

They are absurdly strict about any remote work. You're husband could literally be dying of cancer, and they'd want you in the office for the minimum of 3 days a week if you're working. Its strange because they also don't allow travel to collaborate with other sites very frequently, due to the carbon footprint. In many roles, teams are scattered throughout the world, so there's hardly any in person collaboration when going into the office. They only value in-person collaboration when it inconveniences the employee. They don't care about carbon output when it's created through commuting. I also reduced a star in inclusion and diversity because of the open office. Many neurodivergent employees cannot focus in that set up. There are not adequate quiet spaces to work.
