Vantaggi
Working as a third-party employee at AstraZeneca can be very discouraging. The majority of people in the office are actually hired through third-party agencies, working side by side with AstraZeneca employees and using the same tools, yet the treatment and benefits are vastly different. Third-party staff often receive significantly lower salaries, minimal to no benefits, and have little to no job security. In contrast, AstraZeneca employees enjoy premium benefits such as comprehensive healthcare, housing allowance, children’s education support, company cars, phones, and other perks. The disparity creates an environment of inequality, where third-party workers feel undervalued and easily replaceable, as they can be terminated at any time with little justification. Ultimately, the two-tier system undermines morale and makes it clear that agency workers are not treated as true members of the organization, despite contributing equally to the company’s success.
Svantaggi
Opportunity to gain exposure to a global pharmaceutical company. Access to AstraZeneca tools, systems, and processes. Chance to learn and collaborate with different nationalities. Hybrid work environment.
