What they like about Astra Zeneca Usa:
Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.

Climbers' Joblogs at Astra Zeneca Usa:
The International Assignment Experience
At the end of May, I transitioned with my family back to the US after spending 2.5 years in the UK on a company sponsored international assignment. The experience was fantastic, both personally and professionally.From a professional perspective, the pharmaceutical industry's business challenges are significant due to eroding product sales, thin product pipelines and massive fixed costs. The issues were particularly acute in the UK where the government is the sole payer of healthcare and controls pharmaceutical prices. In both my roles, I worked to address the level of fixed costs to build capabilities that would enable the organization to better compete.
From a personal perspective, living abroad provided my family experiences they may not have had otherwise. We visited Ireland, Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, South Africa and Scotland. We enjoyed Sunday carvery at the pub, laughed at the language nuances my daughters would bring home from school, and added a 3rd daughter to our family.
I'm very fortunate and grateful for these experiences. I'm also very happy to be home in the USA!
