AstraZeneca is a good company to work for as it is ethical and a science driven company. I enjoy working at AZ for the patient-centric culture: we are given the opportunity to positively impact the lives of patients, to shape the future of healthcare. We are part of the discussion with experts as true partners from the medical data to the patient pathway, we are part of the solution.
