When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to
inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge
perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that
doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual
flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
