Pros

Great mission Nice people Very diverse Great benefit and pay

Cons

Stressful too much work and too little time . So much time needed to “align” due to the defragmented set up of the company . Has the most complex Finance operating model I have ever come across - which again means lots of hours moving wooden dollars around the company rather than doing proper finance business partnering and commercial evaluation. Very difficult to get development opportunities outside your immediate finance area - people stay in jobs for years so few opportunities and hard to move internally , probably easier to move externally .

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.
