Pros

They try to embrace company values They have a great pipeline especially in Oncology They have a great CEO who is a high science genius and a really great VP of North America Great benefits for full time employees

Cons

They try to make you think they care about diversity in the workplace but they don't seem to live up to the hype. Many white male dominated departments and everyone turns a blind eye. They always have lay offs no matter what they tell you - when drugs go off patent have your resume ready to launch Some of the senior leaders there are not strong and not respected so if you wanted to move into other roles you had to consider who you would be working for The marketers are arrogant and unwilling to accept any ideas. They use vendors for EVERYTHING and only promote within their small circle Unless you want to live in Wilmington DE or Gaithersburg, MD there are not many opportunities in head quarters

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.
