Pluspunten

Pay and benefits seem on par with the market. Really good pipeline prospects. Super smart people and wonderful scientists who are very inspiring.

Minpunten

Since Covid, expectation on deliverables has been blown out of the water. What was done as an exceptional effort is more the norm now. Work life balance is encouraged but work load can be immense. Little management support, nobody seems to want to challenge upwards, very autocratic. Becoming less focused on human element of workforce and just results driven, irrespective of human capital cost. Lots of roles moving to cheaper countries, limited work space in some locations, mandated 60% attendance - despite success in remote work during Covid. Lots of boxes ticked on the outside but reality on the ground is very different. Not a very diverse environment if you have recognised disabilities and require support. If they think you can't hack the new pace, you are out. HR only support managers, do not expect any integrity. Quite sad really, it used to be a great place to work.

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.
