Pros

Salary, company vehicle options, stock options, retirement and health benefits.

Cons

It’s a check the box metric fest and the metrics are prioritized over actual selling. So much butt kissing to the point that it’s gross, and that is tolerated and appreciated, which is essentially how you get promoted. You’re incentivized to leave if you want to get a salary bump/promoted.

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.
