Pluspunten
Incredible Cambridge ecosystem with multiple offices and an amazing R&D headquarter with social hub building. AstraZeneca really taps into the academic and scientific culture surrounding Cambridge. The compensation within Global IT is very good compared to other life science organisations. The company has been experiencing a strong growth run for the past few years and has ambitious goals for the future.
Minpunten
There is a competitive culture within IT that results in multiple teams vying for the same work/project and resulting in territorial teams and a distinct lack of collaboration. Many business units set up similar teams resulting in redundancy and frequent layoffs. Company is focusing on IT growth in Spain, Canada, and India; UK IT is effectively frozen hiring.
