My Career
Look, who says you can’t like Mondays?
Not many people will admit they enjoy going back to work after a good weekend. That’s why at AstraZeneca we’re constantly looking for ways to help you get more out of your day.
It’s one thing to have a challenging work environment, it’s quite another to make it a fun, friendly and rewarding place to be.
AstraZeneca enjoys an achievement orientated environment, which is made up of:
- 1,000 employees in Australia (over 65,000 worldwide)
- Over 200 established products in the Australian market
- Involvement in over 50 clinical trials across 200 sites in Australia alone.
Ours is an organisation that’s focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for patients. It’s why we make it our job to ensure we get your work/life balance right, because focusing on your wellbeing is just as important as that of our patients.
Benefits
From vacation care and off-site childcare to parental leave and flexible hours; gym memberships and study assistance to the much talked about ‘U Days’ (monthly days off), our range of benefits ensure we bring out the best in you – both personally and at work.
Training & Development
It’s why we’re also serious about your professional development. Dedicated training and development plans that consider your needs are supported by a variety of education and on the job training programs to help you get the most out of your career.
More importantly, you’ll have access to ongoing support from your manager, helping you to set and achieve your individual career goals.
Whether you join our Sales, Medical or Corporate team, we recognise the role you play in the overall success of the organisation. As such, we focus on developing leadership at all levels.
Recruitment Process
A standard recruitment process might include two behavioural interviews*. Depending on the role you’re applying for, your interview might also include a role-play, presentation, or case study. We also often use psychometric testing and sometimes, we run one-day assessment centres for sales roles.
Whatever role you apply for, we always let you know what will be involved from the outset of the process.
* In behavioural-based interviews, you’ll be presented with a scenario and asked to outline examples of past
experiences that demonstrate how you’d respond to situations specific to your job. Typical questions might include the following:
- Tell me about a time when you performed beyond what was expected of you
- Tell me about a time when you faced a difficult challenge or problem, and how you resolved it
