Pros

1. There we’re some standout colleagues who were extremely talented.

Cons

1. Lack of development and progression. Little invested in employees to attend training. 2. Toxic work culture- bullying and harassment rife by senior management and a strong blame culture. Inappropriate comments made about religion and race by senior management. If complaints are raised the person complaining is branded a trouble maker and gaslighted by management. 3. Benefits were changed frequently resulting in people being worse off in the long term. 4. Poor financial management. 5. Lack of flexible working. 6. The above meant that the workforce was demotivated and there was a high turnover of staff.

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.
