AstraZeneca reviews

-* although self improvement resources are there, no body has time for self improvement. -The requirements for a new employee to get a position are lower than those for promoting a current employee to that same position. -Lack of communication and understanding between the work teams do. -The general culture is to give everything you have - most people have far too much on their plate and no time. A lot of people work overtime often and aren't at all acknowledged for it. And yet, everyone is pushed to continuously take on more work. I have never seen so many adults cry at work from stress. -Lab safety is a joke. People don't report injuries and near misses that don't require medical attention under the excuse that they do not have time to deal with the paperwork and inquiries that follow.

Must go to the office 3 times a week and no flexibility on that even though you can apply to work flexibly which, is usually declined and then you can't request for flexible work again within 12 months. Will not receive bonuses or will be fired (US colleagues) if you do not comply with working 3 days in the office. Capacity issues with office spaces, parking, wifi etc. being heard across various offices. Poor pay rises No promotional prospects and no clear guidelines provided on how promotions work. Everyone seems overworked and unhappy with much lower satisfaction scores this year.
