Interview
Terrible. Recruiter scheduled an interview with me but no follow up, never sent a meeting invite and did not even have the curtsy to tell me they filled the position.
AstraZeneca's interview process generally involves multiple rounds, including values-based and technical assessments, with variations depending on the role and department. Be prepared for behavioral questions and potential technical exercises.
Interview Stages
• Initial Screening: This often begins with a phone interview or an on-demand digital video interview (HireVue). "I had an hr call, technical interview with 3 person panel, another hr call, and then interview with regional director."
• Values Interview: A significant component across different roles, focusing on how candidates align with AstraZeneca's core values. "For the values, prepare examples from your previous experience where you have lived those values."
• Technical Interview: These can involve discussions about your current role and how it applies to the position, or live problem-solving exercises. "The technical interview is a little more intimidating. They said they will be sending me an excel sheet and working through an exercise during the interview
I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Barcelona)
Interview
First straightforward and friendly interview with HR booked through Olivia AI assistant. HR said the next step would have been an 'easy' interview via Hirevue. I found the Hirevue interview very awkward. Many questions could have been answered in different ways but the inability to have a dialogue while talking to a camera made the experience stressful and unpleasant. The questions were not so difficult but we are not all YouTubers used to talk to a camera!
Teams interview with approximately 5 groups lasting 30 minutes each. Technical and behavioral questions. Team seems scattered geographically. Consisted of employees from head of team to technical personnel. Employees seem content with jobs.
