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

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.
