Pros

Good business leaders Interesting work

Cons

Anyone that works in HR at AstraZeneca and has exposure to the senior leaders there will be able to relate to this. There’s significant politics at the top, lack of collaboration and alignment. This is probably why the treatment within HR of HR is horrendous. If it wasn’t for the great business leaders at AstraZeneca - and luckily in country - HR reports to the business leader and not HR, you’d fail to attract and retain anyone decent.
