Pros

Good compensation. Good entry level role for Quality Assurance backgrounds. Involved in improvement projects and face to face with auditors as an SME. 9-5 hours (flexible start). Plenty of internal opportunities for progression across different departments.

Cons

Some roles do not have good career projection. Current org chart requires horizontal move prior to promotion to a Grade D role. Criteria for promotion for a higher grade role is inconsistent; some people who have less experience and skills are promoted. Management prefers to hire externally instead of promoting internally. Lack of career progression forces people to either change role or quit the company altogether.

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.
