Pros

- Robust pipeline - Secondment and training opportunities

Cons

- Below-indutry compensation - Disconnect between corporate "vision" and actions (e.g., mandatory 3-day/week in-office attendance for "innovative collaboration" but no support for in-person team meetings if travel is required; claim of hiring the "best talent" but only in cheaper locations (US hiring is flat, but Canada, India and Barcelona are supported)

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.
