I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Jan 2018
Interview
First I had a phone interview with the recruiter. He was really nice and kind, just easy questions. And after a phone interview with the manager, to understand what i have worked. He was nice, and asked me relevant questions about the job description.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Maryland City, MD)
Interview
Recruiter screen, then manager interview. Manager was looking for specific skills. There was a list of skills that were not listed in the job posting but were important for the position.
I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Macclesfield, England)
Interview
After the recruiter approach, they gave the final round interview directly, lasting four hours. Two of them are technical, and one of them is behaviour. Please make sure you have prepared a story for each of their core values
First round: virtual interview, you get 2 questions and you need to record your answers and submit. Feels impersonal.
Final round: values interview with the team leads, followed by technical interview (short presentation, standard questions). Meet the team session was nice.
