      Senior Scientist Interview

      Nov 22, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Gothenburg, Västra Götaland
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Gothenburg, Västra Götaland) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      The interview process took about two months. Scientific interviews with the perspective leader and team mates were very interesting and challenging. Questions were difficult, but it was really amazing to think together to find answers, and I learnt a lot during the process. The interview with "big bosses", heads of sections I'd never see during work, went bad: my organic chemistry was a bit rusty (I applied for a computational position). They were aiming at making me uncomfortable with their behaviour and questions: I had the feeling I really didn't want to work with these people, so in the end I'm glad I didn't receive an offer.

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Cambridge, England)

      Interview

      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.
