Interview
I applied during the pandemic so all stages were virtual. Sent application in, Had 3 interviews one with HR, one with Hiring Manager and one with VP of business area
More than a few months post application, I received a call from a recruiter regarding interview for this position.
We had a case assignment, which I would say roughly takes an hour to complete and we were set up to do an interview. The interviewers were over 10 mins late with no update while I was waiting on the other side.
The interview went fairly well and we were able to build a good rapport.
But alas, they ghosted me. No feedback, no calls or not even a cursory rejection email.
I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Macclesfield, England) in May 2024
Interview
Values interview against company goals. Even for internal roles which doesn’t make sense. Why make someone do a values interview after 20 years of service?! Completely unacceptable why do this to a loyal employee.
The interview was in three stages. The first stage was a 30 minute introductory call, the second stage was a one hour interview with a panel and the last stage was with the hiring manager.
