AstraZeneca reviews

Think twice if you are ready to join AZ. The managers (Lab) manage to be very powerful . They (managers) realize AZ is first a Lab company. Without their work - results- products , AZ will probably not exist. Lab managers in fact are not managers. They are first Scientists turn in to managers. THIS IS ONE Of THE REAL PROBLEM of AZ especially for the lab. HR of AZ don't have a say - HR is there to support the lab managers not the EMPLOYEES who in reality is working hard to make the data available and for future key decisions.. Last -Management ALWAYS PROMOTE the same people over and over (same names every other 3 years). You end up create unnecessary tension and destroy the work environment you and the Leadership are trying and working HARD to promote. This is one on the biggest weakness of AZ - Unfortunately the Senior Leadership faint to not see.

Product-based company (Once upon a time) and now it has become Politics based company. If your Line Manager doesn't like you personally and/or professionally, then you will be fired from the company slowly, by hiding your delivered projects and will assign either very old legacy applications or the applications that are not working fine, just to make you out for that year. Still, AZ uses 19th-century technologies in its applications and not ready to adapt to new emerging technologies. While recruiting you will be tested and asked questions from the very latest technologies but after getting into the company you will be asked to work or deliver the very old technologies and they never bother to migrate it to new technology. So, Managers can start playing games using this legacy applications to corner their employees for which Higher officials and HR will support it. If any persons wrongly configures the application then punish the person as per AZ Ethics and don't keep the blame on the other employee who have not worked on that application
