Pros

Excellent facilities, good location and environment. Most people trying to do their best and produce some good science despite current state of change.

Cons

The company has changed radically over the last six years or so. Lost focus on science and doing the difficult. Now a factory mentality with people taking fewer risks - this is not how science works! Rewards short-term thinking. Not a place for anyone who doesn't stay in line.

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.
