Pros

Good medicines to promote Good managed care coverage negotiated on meds

Cons

Always turmoil Managers are out of touch - every level of management has false realities and unrealistic expectations Below average compensation Lack of access budget Unnecessary busy work and admin duties - many as a result of poor IT, lot of tech issues as well as having to track down things in several places, generate your own viable reports, and repeat these tasks because it rarely works the first time! So much wasted time it's impossible to be efficient and productive Always a new project - nothing gets followed through

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.
