Culture and Values

Working at AstraZeneca (AZ) felt like a continuous struggle. Projects lacked direction and resources, making efficiency a challenge. The work-life balance was almost non-existent, with employees often working excessive hours at the expense of personal well-being. The leadership fostered a toxic environment, sidelining constructive feedback and promoting fear over support. Promotions seemed based on favoritism rather than merit, diminishing the value of hard work. Additionally, the compensation and benefits fell short of industry standards, leaving employees feeling undervalued. Overall, I'd caution anyone against joining AZ due to its poor work environment, lack of resources, and unfair practices. Consider other companies that genuinely value their employees' time and talent.

Pros and Cons

Great portfolio, Good science, best technologies

Pervasive toxicity and poor management skills make it unpleasant place to work.

My AZ experience was positive. I was given all the bells and whistles to support leadership and a team of 30 and growing! The office is on a lovely campus and when the weather is nice a great place to be outside near the pond during lunch. The science advancement is constantly being explored. The teams are very busy. Keeping people moving, going to the right place and on time is a full time job. However, meet and greets, team victories, holiday celebrations and happy hour Fridays are all part of the life at AZ.

Pros and Cons

friendly office, free parking, training

constant change and uncertainty of future work projects

AZ had a difficulty tracking donations to Organizations that supported their Pharmaceutical Products. They searched new technologies that closely addressed their business need and then created a very detailed change management plan to deliver the business solution to their global business partners.

Pros and Cons

Able to do complex thing to solve complex global business opportunities

The AZ organization operates from a local to global problem solving viewpoint.
