Pros

Start up environment and nice people working here.

Cons

They don't sponsor work visas even for people they've hired. There's a nonexistent HR presence and the pay in CA is only 15% above the NC office, even though the cost of living is much higher. It's a churn and burn environment for most people working here. They don't conduct exit interviews to find out why people are leaving. Perhaps they don't care about the people who work here?

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.
