Pros

Pay and benefits Fitness Center Shuttle to Metro Daycare center set to open soon Employee Friday social with good food

Cons

HR always support management. Employees needn't bother to defend themselved. Poor management and lack of promotions is why people leave. In particular, black minorities are harshly treated, without potential for promotions. Curious how most of your Black employees are never ready for promotions while average performers that are other races get managerial opportunities and promotions. Nepotism and favoritism in many departments; do not recommend that black employees bother to apply at Medimmune. Don"t get caught playing those zen games or watching TV during working hours!

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.
