Pros

decent pay, good mission, opportunities to positively effect change in patients lives

Cons

Recently demonstrating little to no loyalty to employees and seem to care more about being on site 3 days a week that productivity or any other measurable innovative outcome. Now seem to care more about obedience than anything else. Current autocratic leanings will feel stifling to innovative productive people who dislike rules for rules sake or who create disruption with innovation.

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.
