AstraZeneca reviews

Appraisal system was used inappropriately to destroy how hard people worked. Building a relationship with the senior team was nothing short of a challenge. Most senior managers and team leaders etc are technically brilliant but lack true leadership skills. To much of us and them attitude etc that lead to low morale and trust issues. Don’t go in with an open mind and think of changing anything you will get shot down fairly quickly, it’s not what you know it’s who you know.

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.
