Pros

Great Leadership development program. Great benefits.

Cons

The patient no longer comes first and selling has become more of a robotic function where asking the customer what his/her needs are, is out of the question. AZ has gone back to messaging thinking that this is what their customers want to hear. Any value added services for the customers have been eliminated. Morale is down significantly and many, many good people have left the organization.

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.
