Pros

work life balance and work environment

Cons

AZ is no more a Great place to work. The organization lacks a well-defined succession planning and career progression framework. Frequent reorganizations and layoffs have impacted team stability and employee morale. Despite significant experience, employees often face excessive micromanagement, limiting autonomy and innovation. The “speak-up” culture is not effectively practiced, which makes it difficult for employees to share feedback or raise concerns safely. Overall, the environment does not currently support long-term career growth or psychological safety. Without any Prior Notice immediate Layoff is still shocking.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
