I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Gaithersburg, MD) in Oct 2014
Interview
The first is a phone screen which is pretty informal with someone who is not familiar with science so the questions are basic. I think they are reading from a list. The second is an in-person interview on campus for about a half a day. You meet with upper level and junior employees and have an informal lunch.
