Pros

none at all, there is no pro to working there.

Cons

For such a large company, being the only black person in the entire department just shows what the company stands for. You want a diverse workforce, then I suggest you start interviewing and hiring different ethnicities and not just white! its disgraceful how different races are treated and spoken to! I would never ever work for a company like that! I was victimised, lied upon and treated like rubbish.

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.
