Pros

Very good package and salaries , nice offices. Great mission and patient centric . Good environmental policies with a push to be Carbon neutral

Cons

Complicated , difficult to react at pace . Siloed working with Finance operating models which drive wrong behaviours. Confused location strategy , pressure to be in the office (office attendance monitored) just to sit in teams calls as teams are not well co-located . Furthermore it is difficult to develop and move to new roles unless they appear in an office near you (due to the strict 3 day a week in the office) or you are able to move . Limited focus on work/life balance so hours can be long depending on team .

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.
