AstraZeneca reviews

* Culture is highly siloed and clique-based between departments; stems from adherence to old product development processes with everyone “protecting their turf”. * Decisions made at top-heavy executive level often run against professed organizational principles, and often have a severely counter productive effect; ends up creating a highly competitive atmosphere between departments that should be cooperative, and this significantly undercuts morale and productivity. * Myopic focus on short-term results (typically quarter-by-quarter for a single year), and following dictated processes/rules (i.e. no matter how counter productive this is); this hobbles the international cross-functional product initiatives they are trying to develop, with victory being declared when anything is finally released in a semi-working state. * Unwillingness to change from outdated processes creates difficulty recruiting, and inability to retain, top-tier talent; attrition is typically the people the organization needs the most, leaving departments populated with people who focus on doing just enough (i.e looking busy) to keep their jobs.
