Pros

My time there is going back to the late 00's. Beneath the level of Director and Associate Director, within the ranks, there were some extremely nice, talented, hard-working, and pleasant colleagues. Thankfully, those people made it a better experience.

Cons

The culture was very strange. Those who had influence/power were not exemplary leaders. It seemed they spent a lot of time worrying about "fact finding" and "building cases" on employees to be ready to remove them if need be, than supporting and building relationships and fostering an environment that people could truly feel good about growing with, and contributing to.

Pros

Was a great place to work before multiple rounds of restructuring and all good leaders were replaced with jokers

Cons

- favoritism - does not promote from within - it is a culture where you will only progress if you butter the right slice of bread - promotes managers who have no leadership not vision

Pros

AstraZeneca has an awesome culture. The company has a strong pipeline of great medicines coming and they are dedicated to the science and putting the patients first. The work life balance for employees is great.

Cons

The transparency from the top to the bottom has begun to close up. They keep you out of the loop until big decisions are made that will directly effect your work. Resources have begun to shrink.
