Patient Intake Specialist in Germantown, Md
on July 31, 2019
The typical work day at AstraZeneca was daily faxes, dat entry, creating cases for researchers to begin benefit cases for patients to start medication. What i learned in this field and at this job is that accuracy and punctuality is very important. The time that we get the faxes and create the cases for the researcher was very important because the patients need their medicines on time to better t...

Good place to work, but has its flaws. Pros are clean work environment, safe, good coworkers. There seems to be a major disconnect between production workers, and office staff. Decent pay depending on your position, and the benefits are good. Overall good place to work, but could be a lot better with some minor changes.

This company makes you feel like you can easily be replaced. Not a stable company. Many changes happen often. The best advice I have is be ready to work hard and do better than your best for them to want you around !

Director, Forecasting in Remote
on November 6, 2023
Reasonable work and pay but tough culture as higher up is out of touch and not stopping (previously reported) bullies from riding rough shot on their teams. Pushed RTO (or else). So many quit and hired lots of 'B' players who are good at politics. Place to go if you need to land and don't let the other stuff get to you.
