Pros

AstraZeneca APBS has a really good office culture, and there are hardly any office politics, so everyone is friendly. The company provides a lot of benefits such as medical, optical and dental allowances in addition to the usual group insurance. There are many activities and gatherings organized for each departments and for the whole company as a whole. They are very generous with these activities, especially their annual dinners.

Cons

Salary at AstraZeneca APBS is not very high and the annual increment is also not much. The annual bonus is also more heavily dependent on the company's global profit and not so much on your own work performance. This is not so much the fault of the company but more on the nature of accounting, but in the RTR department you need to be prepared to work overtime a lot during the month end closing. There are some nights where it's not surprising to work until 12 midnight (or more).

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.
