Pros

good health benefits fair salary good yearly bonus good relocation package work from home 1 to 2 days a week

Cons

No room for career advancement The promotion policy needs to be clear and equitably applied to all employees You cannot expect employees to stay when you freeze promotion cycles. This is not only demoralizing for the employees who were submitted for promotion, but it is also demoralizing for the other employees in the company. Too many initiatives upper level managment is out of touch and or negative at times hiring process is slow, burdensome and ineffective at best employee morale has quickly eroded in the last 6 months retention rates will continue to worsen

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.
