I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Jan 2020
Interview
I have been contacted by a recruiter, got a first phone interview with the group leader of about 30 min to know each other. After 1 week got a full interview with presentation, technical interview and competency interview. Comptency interview has weird questions but you can find them on AstraZenaca website. Technical interview was tough and I was very dispappointed and almost depressed afterwards.
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.
