Good environment with young talented group of individuals. AZ is very focused on employee engagement and developing talent within organization.

Cons

Poor future outlook for company due to depleted pipeline and mature portfolio on verge of patent expiration cycle. Low company moral due to multiple layoff cycles within last few years.

Pros

Company culture is very supportive and people oriented. You can maintain a worklife balance and advance your career at the same time. Overall compensation is above average compared to other industries.

Cons

Culture is very forgiving and supportive, so that is a double edged sword when you need to drop the hammer on vendors and partners--they are not held accountable for mistakes which is a shame. In the IS organization, many functions are outsourced and the competency of SI partners are average, so vendor management skills are more emphasized. There are few areas where you will find thought leadership and innovation and the general skill level of IS employees are not being developed.
