RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at AstraZeneca full-time
Pros
AZ Canada has a collaborative, respectful and high performing culture. Colleagues are smart and bring a sense of energy and fun to their work. In particular in last year, lots of great development options and investment in people in a number of different, interesting ways. Really is a fantastic place to work for people who want to be at the top of their game. Senior leaders are authentic and approachable. Also they have been leading some very engaging and fun employee events.
Amazing pipeline and the science coming is so compelling. Makes everything you do really matter.Cons
Lots to do and the pace is fast. Sometimes hard to juggle all the priorities so need to raise when it's too much. Managers will listen.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you are doing to support people and develop them. It's appreciated.

Pros
Great bennifits, Great pay, great teams to work with, for the most part great managers.

The Company is changing, some new managers do not "Live the AZ Values". Times are changing and more global services and pressures are being felt. What was once a great company is slipping.
Advice to Management
Retain your good people. Be more careful on your hiring practices especially when it comes to people managers.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at AstraZeneca full-time
Pros
Large company with good benefits and established reputation. Some good products. Good global leadership.
Cons
Too much politics creating a negative environment, lack of accountability and no clear strategic direction. The strategies change every week and senior leadership does not provide a good environment for employees growth. Employees are kept in the dark regarding key decisions and too many reorganizations are taking place to to maintain clarity.
Advice to Management
Replace Canadian management

RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at AstraZeneca full-time
Pros
Competitive salary and benefits
Cons
Seems like they are always undergoing restructuring and job security a serious issue for people working there. People very easily let go.
Advice to Management
Better forecasting models needed. Don't be so reactionary. Try to help your talented staff find other work in the company before letting them go.
