I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Gaithersburg, MD) in Dec 2019
Interview
Had initial phone screen with HR, followed by another phone screening with the hiring manager. This was then followed by in-person interview with the hiring manager and the team member. Since another member on the panel was not available, had a follow up Skype interview. Also, had to answer several preliminary questions and prepare a skills presentation and send prior to the in-person interview. There was almost a month gap between the phone screens and the in-person and Skype interview. After all this they said although I have the skills, I'm not the right candidate. Can't the hiring manager decide during the preliminary screening and in-person interview whether the candidate is a good fit or not? Why waste everyone's time by having a follow up interview?

The interviewers were great and made the process very engaging. I would recommend them to a friend anytime. HR was also very helpful but request for documents for onboarding almost became very stressful.
