Pluspunten

Good mid-level management. Vastly improved in recent years (2009 onwards).

Minpunten

Headed at the very top by sales people who have a short-term vision and shareholder focus when it comes to R&D. Short-term vision can be quite detrimental in an industry where product development cycles are about a decade. The current management will be long gone by the time the real trouble manifests itself, which explains the incentive to 'create value' now, at the cost of future failure.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
