Pluspunten

Excellent benefits package on top of basic salary. Lots of good people trying hard to do the best they can to contribute to company targets. Pleasant work environment (in some buildings) and efforts being made on new surroundings.

Minpunten

Very little autonomy to make changes or get things done. Too much faceless back office and going around in circles with queries or issues. Morale is very low in some areas due to restructures and excessive workload. Top management doesn't care about individuals and is very insensitive about impact of restructuring changes made. HR effort is all focused on hiring and onboarding, there is very little support as an employee or people manager once in the company, as there are not enough HR business partners.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
