Testimonials
Everyone works as a team
A positive work environment
I’ve worked at AZ for five years and secured a permanent role just over a year ago. Carrying on my education was important but didn’t want to spend time and money doing a full-time degree. Being able to complete a BSc and rotate around different areas to find a role I loved, is what really appealed to me. I also decided after I graduated from the BSc to continue on to the MSc, which definitely isn’t something I even considered before starting. I wanted to continue my learning and love that I’m able to bring back learnings from university into my team.
