Great Company but very strange WFH policies - Senior Scientist, Statistics AstraZeneca Employee Review

For a company that values in-person interaction, they tend to have terrible locations. Nobody wants to live in Wilmington DE, Ohio or Indiana. Talking to European colleagues, it sounds like they also chose very unappealing locations in Europe as well. I love the company and the work I do. I really like my coworkers. I still can't picture myself here long term, because the locations are just awful. It's also strange that job function is not considered with any discussion around remote work. Most people in my role go to the office to sit on calls for most of the day. We literally do not work with anyone in the building. Yet, we are required to be in the building 3 days a week.
