Pros

Great salary and benefits, many people have worked there their whole career and lived comfortably. Good work-life balance if you get the right manager. Great on-site facilities. Colleagues were stellar to work with, met many great people over the years.

Cons

Forcing return to office. Many UK jobs in IT cut and moved to Mexico, India, Spain. Large company with a lot of politics/bureaucracy. Can take months/years extra to get projects through the door. Cutting jobs/teams without prior consultation has led to a lot of issues.

Pros

I imagine this is very dependent on line management but I find my team and supervisors to be true champions of a high performing and highly compassionate work culture. I find my work challenging and rewarding, and have had opportunities to learn and grow and be rewarded and recognized for my output. No job is perfect but I’m truly happy to work here and at a time when AZ is truly rising like a rocket.

Cons

Like any massive global corporate entity, things can sometimes move slowly and it can be challenging to navigate a high number of constantly evolving priorities and initiatives. That being said, AZ is very clear about its north stars and values which makes it possible to prioritize work that has the most impact and alignment with the company’s ambition and business prerogatives. 60% office attendance policy is also a bit funny when oftentimes I am on Teams calls with colleagues sitting in other areas of the world.
