Pros

Great Pay and benefits. Good people. Company vision is promising wrt drug pipeline. IT strategy clear.

Cons

Annual reorgs in IT has most of the experienced people hanging around waiting for a package. In the US it's a job not a career. Shrink your way to success strategy. Brain drain... off shore all technical jobs to India or Mexico (calling it "insourcing"). Hiring technical people off shore with the decent technical know how but no clue about the business. ZERO opportunities for career growth / promotion in the US or Sweden.

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.
