Case Studies

Name: Kelly H, Wilmington, US
Role: Operations and IS Global Graduate Associate

"I think the first day of our induction week really demonstrated the commitment and expectations that AstraZeneca has for this program. In the conference room the 15 of us new graduates, originating from 6 different countries, were joined by the CEO, CPO and COO who welcomed us and explained their expectations for our development, exposure and leadership skills over the next 3 years. What a remarkable way to show how a global company is truly invested in fostering the leaders of the future. I don’t think any of us will forget their encouraging remarks, not to mention that they took time out of their day to speak with us. It speaks volumes about AstraZeneca’s investment in this program."


Name: Erica M, Macclesfield, UK

Role: Operations and IS Global Graduate Associate

"Literally since day one we as graduates have had the opportunity to meet with many of the company’s key leaders. It’s very motivating as a graduate to have that kind of support."


Name: Denton H, North Ryde, Australia
University: Wilmington, US
Role: Operations and IS Global Graduate Associate

"During our induction week, more than 10 vice presidents, directors and managers took time from their busy schedules to give us an overview of their departments and the challenges they were facing. What really struck me was how honest and patient they each were in answering our questions."


Name: G Mibelli

"The MBA program at AstraZeneca has offered me the opportunity to have a truly International career since every 2-3 years you are expected to change the job and the location you are working in; from the very first position to which I was assigned I have obtained real hands-on responsibilities being able to fully impact the business. I really feel that at AstraZeneca I definitely have the flexibility and the resources to build my own career and pursue my goals"
