There is always a way to contribute to life changing science

Pros

Dynamic, patient-oriented, science driven. A good place to start your career supported by seniors with long experience. AZ believes in the power of its employees.

Cons

Big company so it might be difficult to understand the business structure and pipeline when arriving new at the company.

A Graduate Perspective

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of support with the steep learning curve of joining a new company and industry. Excellent working environment with friendly colleagues and ample facilities. Huge opportunities to develop both hard and soft skills. Active youth network (though see the cons). Lots of exposure to, and chance to work and and contribute to, global drug projects.

Cons

Although the Youth society does well I hear the funding is very poor. A lot of graduates come from overseas and need the Youth society to integrate and find their feet. An enjoyable event could be the difference between losing or retaining an exceptional individual before they've had a chance. [I can only speak for the Mölndal site]

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is interested in personal development and supports this. The environment is relaxed and friendly. Everybody seems easy to approach and happy to help. Open plan workplace (pro and con). Opportunity to travel internationally.

Cons

Open plan workplace (pro and con). Not a lot of parking available and most sites in Cambridge are hard to reach by public transport.
