And there's a lot of space and a lot of support for developing my skills and for excelling at my role. Even though I haven't been with the company for very long, I've already witnessed several of my colleagues take part in both local and global programmes where they develop their skills, but also bring a lot of useful knowledge and information back to our local teams. Also, a lot of innovative ideas and projects are shared across the teams, and this is very inspiring. My ideas that I have had have always been supported by my local team and always been discussed to find new ways of bringing our work to the next level. This kind of openness and support for developing both your own skills, but also developing the company, is something that I value very highly in my work, and therefore, I really enjoy working for AstraZeneca.
