      Pros

      AstraZeneca provides an employee with many opportunities to advance ones' career. They have in place many valuable tools for one to be challenged.

      Cons

      The communication at times could be better provided by upper management. Some times rumors get the best of people and wrong information is released.

      Smart people, great work/life balance and benefits, but no career growth

      Pros

      Everyone is very bright. Projects change frequently and involve advanced science so they are quite interesting. Benefits are very good and work/life balance is excellent; flex time, vacation and work at home opportunities plus a deep understanding and respect for health and family commitments. A 9 to 5 job that is not boring. People stay for years and are very loyal to the company. Some charismatic new top-level management that may help eventually.

      Cons

      Management is dealing with a poor pipeline by having massive layoffs. Morale is poor. IT support is appalling. Decisions are very slow to happen and slow to be implemented; bureaucratic snags tie up IT projects for years. There is no recognition for a job well done. Heavy-handed attempts at behavioral control from HR are ignored. Communication is done by nuance, so mixed messages abound, and backstabbing is common. Very hierarchical and political; if you are not politically adept, you will not advance here.
