The fresh air is the best place for me to continue to develop my projects. I have been at AstraZeneca for three years. Today, I am responsible for brands in the area of haematology. Here at AstraZeneca, I see many opportunities for self-development, especially in the area of leadership. I am proud to be a part of AstraZeneca Switzerland.
We are convinced that a workplace culture based on trust is a key determinant for the success of a company. We therefore put all of our efforts into creating an environment in which our employees are valued and feel supported.
A Great Place to Work
We work continuously on being a ‘great place to grow’ and, thanks to votes from the team, in recent years we have been awarded ‘Great Place to Work’ certification for several years in a row. The results help us to maintain the standard and above all, to continuously develop.
