9a. Would you recommend AstraZeneca to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

The culture is relatively good, The UK Apprenticeships team is superb - I don't think you will find a more passionate team. The person responsible for IT Apprenticeships however is less bothered and is more looking at setting up US Apprenticeships than actually managing the success of the existing UK ones

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to AstraZeneca?

Know the company story, and be confident in yourself but not too much. Accept you may not know every answer but try your best :)
