Responsibilities
Yes but only if I felt capable enough to take responsibility. Encouraged to take tasks and experiences at your own pace. Felt comfortable enough to speak up if I felt overwhelmed. Personally, I like taking responsibly so embraced challenges.
Support & Guidance
Weekly 1:1 catch ups with my manager which were incredibly useful. Support and guidance were provided by the Environment team whenever I needed it. Training was always highly comprehensive. Even when I felt out of my depth undertaking some tasks, I knew help was only a message/call away if i needed it.
Culture
Very positive, everyone was friendly and caring. Pfizer’s core values are at the centre of the work we do.
