AstraZeneca was ranked in the Top 50 in the 'Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For - 2002'. It is the only survey that ranks companies on the basis of what their employees have to say. The judges also looked for evidence of trust in management, pride in the work and the company, and teamwork. Of the company's 10,000 UK employees, 250 were interviewed and commented favourably on our work life balance initiates, opportunities for professional and personal growth, as well as our flexible benefits and performance bonus plans.
