Pluspunten

The introductory courses were very good.

Minpunten

Working within CORE TISSUE CULTURE was an experience I would not wish on my worst enemy. The women within this group set out to itimidate,persecute, and oppress any new employee that entered the group. We were not encouraged to talk to other members of other groups, and restricted from going to any scientific meetings (on site) mainly due to the volume of work. Our workload was so high that tempers were often frayed,and nit picking within the group was rife. The co-workers were given no responsibilities - even at a basic level, blame was always pushed onto the nearest person. co-workers were encouraged to watch and report on each other - in a supposed attempt to 'improve' quality. HR were not supportive in helping new employees in any way.

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.
