What we offer

We thrive in a collaborative and friendly environment. We join forces for a common goal: saving and prolonging patients' lives. We believe collaboration and diversity are key to this, and when you work for AstraZeneca, you are never alone. It’s this ethos that’s helped us top the list of Best Companies to Work For in Brazil for an incredible 14 consecutive years. We are not afraid to do things differently. We are developing new ways of working, creating modern methods, and bringing different people together to produce an inspiring science.

Inclusion and diversity

We strive for an open and inclusive culture that inspires and celebrates diversity in everything we do. We believe that “Everybody is different. Nobody should be indifferent.” And that’s what our Revealing Differences initiative is all about. That’s why we have PEOPLE as one of our four strategic pillars. It’s our responsibility as an organisation to create a relatable environment that represents the community we serve, encouraging diversity across everything we do.
