Pros

Optimistic culture leading people to believe in a bright future. Several recent drug approvals and more to come. Compensation on par with competition in most areas.

Cons

CEO is too dominating and not accepting people with opinions against his own. Because CEO has hired extensively from his former company Roche a big chunk of 'old' talent in the organisation has left or is on the verge of leaving.

Pros

I imagine this is very dependent on line management but I find my team and supervisors to be true champions of a high performing and highly compassionate work culture. I find my work challenging and rewarding, and have had opportunities to learn and grow and be rewarded and recognized for my output. No job is perfect but I’m truly happy to work here and at a time when AZ is truly rising like a rocket.

Cons

Like any massive global corporate entity, things can sometimes move slowly and it can be challenging to navigate a high number of constantly evolving priorities and initiatives. That being said, AZ is very clear about its north stars and values which makes it possible to prioritize work that has the most impact and alignment with the company’s ambition and business prerogatives. 60% office attendance policy is also a bit funny when oftentimes I am on Teams calls with colleagues sitting in other areas of the world.
