Many people enter the pharmaceutical field because they want to make a difference in the lives of others.
At AstraZeneca, we thrive on this principle. AstraZeneca is a leader among major pharmaceutical companies – both in the industry-leading products we produce and the significant community outreach we have spearheaded to bring medicines to people who need them.
We encourage our teams to think creatively, seize opportunities, exceed customer expectations, and deliver outstanding service. At AstraZeneca, we work as a team – with the support to come up with innovative ideas, and then develop them into reality. When you join AstraZeneca, you will join a company where we are truly dedicated to making a difference in the lives of patients who use our medicines, and those who live in our communities.
But we are not all business. We believe in having some fun, too. Activities throughout the year include "Take a Child to Work Day" in April, an annual company picnic, social and holiday events, and employee network organizations.
AstraZeneca's community involvement
extends heavily into the areas of health and health education. In the Delaware Valley, home of our US headquarters, we focus our volunteer efforts on health, education, civic/community events, and the arts. Many of our employees are active volunteers for the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, Junior Achievement, United Way and numerous other nonprofit organizations. Some even hold leadership positions within these organizations.
