Pros

Benefits are good and science is exciting

Cons

Management is terrible. I see junior people on hiring panels for positions two pay grades above them - so hiring people paid more than them, but not necessarily more qualified. i.e, AZ is more likely to hire externally than promote internally.

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.
