Pros

benefits, salary, resources, cutting edge, pipeline, participation in SOP development/modifications, work from home 1 day/wk, good bonuses, big in safety of employees, quick expense reimb.

Cons

Way too many internal changes going on at once (softwares, systems, SOPs, structure, vendors). Work almost 60hrs/wk. POLITICS !!! many unqualified people promoted because of politics! Upper management is not in touch w/real world and sets goals with timelines that make them unfeasible....work quality suffers. Poor planning (tied to timeline/goals).

Pros

The page is friendly to make an application.

Cons

As an experienced healthcare analytics and commercial leader, I applied to 104 U.S.-based positions at AstraZeneca between 2025 and 2026 that closely matched my background. Despite receiving interviews from peer organizations, I did not receive a single recruiter interaction. I fully understand the competitiveness of hiring, but such a complete lack of engagement raises questions about potential overreliance on AI screening or unintended bias.
