Pros

None except good salary and food in office

Cons

The people function is deeply toxic and lacks basic principles or values. It is led by incompetence, masked through office politics and smear campaigns, false allegations. Leadership fails to take a stand, enabling a closed group to operate unchecked. This environment actively blocks progress and accountability—avoid getting involved.

Pros

The page is friendly to make an application.

Cons

As an experienced healthcare analytics and commercial leader, I applied to 104 U.S.-based positions at AstraZeneca between 2025 and 2026 that closely matched my background. Despite receiving interviews from peer organizations, I did not receive a single recruiter interaction. I fully understand the competitiveness of hiring, but such a complete lack of engagement raises questions about potential overreliance on AI screening or unintended bias.
