    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I really enjoyed it! I found the exposure to the company invaluable. Learning more about the company, its values, its standard plant protocols, the different projects in different departments, my role and how I am contributing to the work under my department, the opportunities AstraZeneca has after I finish my internship. I was able to meet different people and also learn from them. One of the most significant things I've taken away from this experience is the development of my soft skills, especially flexibility and communication.
