Pros

Modern work environment, fairly competitive salaries,

Cons

Terrible leadership and messaging in PMB and SET; they’re disconnected from the reality of daily work pressures. Some of the worst leadership messaging I have heard across 4 major Pharma companies in 25+ years - zero prospects in the UK for the foreseeable future. Little or no investment in people. The old school aggressive management style of ‘if you don’t like it leave’ doesn’t work; moral and motivation at a low - Talent is being let go due to failures by senior leadership to invest in people and past poorly managed over recruitment. AZ UK is about to fall off a cliff as soon as any local competitor opens recruitment. To focused on green-washing.

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.
