Graduate stories

Graduate stories

Andrew, Graduate in Global Operations – Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance (QA) refers to any systematic process that’s used to determine if a product or service meets quality standards. Andrew has been working in this area as part of his graduate programme.

“Every day, I learn more about the fascinating process of drug development, and how we make sure that quality is part of everyone’s mindset. I’m part of a close, supportive group of like-minded graduates, which gives me confidence and creates a strong feeling of togetherness.”

Christian, Graduate in Finance & Controlling

Every graduate enjoys something different about our programme. For some, the highlight is their role. For others, it’s our culture or the scope for development. At Grünenthal, we’re passionate about providing opportunities and creating an environment that makes work enjoyable.

“It’s professionally and personally enriching to work alongside people from other countries. I learned a lot about myself during the free full-day workshops about social skills.”

Ana, Graduate in R&D-Global Drug Safety

Global Drug Safety is a scientific department assuring patient and drug safety. Ana has been primarily working in a team that performs medico-scientific assessment to assure appropriate characterisation of benefit-risk profile of our products.

“Assuring patient safety has been my passion for years. However, I wanted a start in the industry with the broader understanding of our main internal stakeholders and corporate culture. The Graduate programme was the best to accommodate those wishes. Broad catalogue of trainings for young talents, internal job-rotations and a great team spirit among graduates, is something every junior colleague could wish for.”
