      Director Interview

      Apr 19, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca

      Interview

      Their hiring process is a mess and I would advise everyone to stay away from applying. First time I applied, I got an email to provide slots which I did and no reply after than even after following up on the email. Second time for a different role, they sent me a form to fill which had technical problems (fields updating automatically based on previous selection) which made it impossible to fill and then again no respnose from the hiring person. Third time, again for a different role, set up time for an introductory call and no show from the recruiter. Not even reply to the email I sent to the recruiter asking for another slot. Don't bother applying to roles in this company. If this is how they treat candidates, employee won't be treated better.

      1) Can you provide slots for an introductory call? 2) Please fill this PDF form.
