Pros

If you are working in R&D there are plenty opportunities to progress in your carrier. Apart from that I would ass to pros: atmosphere within the local team, fair salaries, understanding from the management that each employee need to maintain work-private life balance

Cons

Constant changes without investigating/confirming whether previously implemented improvement have started to work. Pure communication across functions in R&D. An attitude towards new eployees that everybody needs to gain his/her own experience without sharing information how a particular task can be done effciently; as there are no procedures understood as workflow for required activities to be completed in order to meet any milestone it makes a work of the team unefficient. Rein ytear structurization in R&D causing that in year or two there will be nobody to seek for lessons learnt

Pros

Good salary with bonus at the beginning of the year. Good benefits and good work life balance. Some really good people to work with, weather they are AstraZeneca employees or out sourced employees.

Cons

New management seems to be out of touch with is going on at the local level. There is a push to out source many jobs. Some groups have been cut down so much that it's hard for them to be effective.
