Pros

Very good company for starters, Product based company, Worldwide known company Product-based company (Once upon a time)

Cons

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

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.
