I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Oct 2009
Interview
Applied online and was contacted to schedule a phone interview within 2 days of applying. One week later was interviewed by someone from HR. Standard interview questions: tell me about yourself? what was the most difficult situation and how did handle it? what are your salary expections? When can you start?
The impression that I had was that it was standard questions without no connection with my scientific background or the job description.

I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Jan 2026
Interview
Interviews were very well organized and hiring manager was very communicative. However after interviewing in-person with the entire team (about 10-12 people for about 4 hours) I was ghosted. The director as they walked me out after interviewing said I would hear back either way in 1-2 weeks. That was three months ago. I almost expect to be ghosted if it was just a zoom interview, but it is disappointing they did not have the courtesy to say that I was not selected when they said I was one of the top candidates during my lengthy in-person interview. Everyone I interviewed with was nice and honest and happy to answer any of the questions I had. Due to both the good and bad, I gave the overall experience a neutral.
