I have been working at AstraZeneca full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
AstraZeneca has a global footprint and many different functional groups. Once you are part of the Company you can, if you choose to, develop your career in so many diverse ways, or seek opportunities in a different part of the world - it is just up to you to make it happen.
Cons
We are in a rapidly changing environment - it can be unsettling at times as there are quite frequent internal re-organisations - all for good reasons but you need to be adaptable.
Advice to Management
Staying close to the core Company values is a true benefit for the AZ culture - let's keep up the momentum.
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Manchester, England).
Interview
Very friendly staff. Assessment day consisted of an interview and a group exercise. The interview was conducted by two process engineers, one from product development and one fro chemical development. Started off with competency based questions then technical questions. The group activity consisted of a group discussion and then the second task was to build a bridge made of spaghetti and marshmallows.
