Pros

Nice office buildings where almost everyone provided own room. Good gym and cantine, library with fresh scientific magazines.

Cons

Interpersonal relations are quite bad, bullying managers, racial discrimination. Monthly performance reviews are connected to the bonus system, and maybe this explains why they are so harsh. At the same time systematic soldiering of your collegues, poor collaboration, bad planning, lack of support dont leave you any chance to move forward. Fear of loosing jobs and risk of mobbing, might have increased due to recent laid offs.

Pros

The page is friendly to make an application.

Cons

As an experienced healthcare analytics and commercial leader, I applied to 104 U.S.-based positions at AstraZeneca between 2025 and 2026 that closely matched my background. Despite receiving interviews from peer organizations, I did not receive a single recruiter interaction. I fully understand the competitiveness of hiring, but such a complete lack of engagement raises questions about potential overreliance on AI screening or unintended bias.
