Pros

Great people, for the most part good work-life balance, flexible schedules, diversity focused. Potential for remote working once/week.

Cons

Difficult to keep focused when the ax is always swinging over head, due to cuts or potential cuts. The uncertainty however is what most in pharma are experiencing today. Flatter and flatter organization good and bad. Promotions are taking longer and longer.

Pros

Passionate people who care about healthcare. New direction to drive better medicines through innovations. Bringing in a lot of new people and new skills.

Cons

Matrix organisation, and lots of change. Lots of TLAs (three letter acronyms). Obviously the patent cliff is coming but they have an external focus now.

Pros

AstraZeneca cares a lot about keeping their employees happy. They allow you to be flexible as long as you can still meet the company's goals and execution guidelines. There is a lot if growth opportunity if you are willing to work hard and re- locate. There employ a lot of smart people so you can learn a ton.

Cons

There are not a lot of growth opportunities if you are not willing to re-locate or happen to live close to DE. The workload can get very heavy very heavy at times.
