Excellent, prepared and professional. Enjoyed being interviewed by them. Was informative and also open to more than just the job. Was a pleasure interviewing for them. Would recommend this interview for anyone.
- Why did you choose this field?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at AstraZeneca
Had a base level HR interview where the other person did not show much reaction to my answers so it is difficult to gauge what she thought. She dodged pretty much every question on significant detail either, so I was left with the feeling my profile was just being researched.
- Are you willing to relocate to Cambridge?

I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca
I had a phone interview with recruiter from company, a week later I was contacted to meet with two sales manager. They told me to have my answers using something similar to the STAR approach. I met with both of them the interview seemed to go well. I sent a follow up email to thank them but I never heard back. I followed up again a month later and i got a response from the recruiter of Astrazeneca that position has not been filled. I finally got my rejection email three months after i interviewed!! It was a generic letter. I think its so unprofessional to not let someone know if they did not get the job when you met with two people in person. I will never apply fo astrazeneca.

It started off with tell me about yourself, an then followed by getting to know your attitude and character kind of questions, and then one or two technical questions. Had about 3 people, including HR, in the interview.

The first step of the process was completing the General Ability Test. Quite time-challenging as there are available 30 minutes for 24 questions, but online practice tests are provided. Overall, it was challenging.

I recently had an engaging interview session with a reputable company. Although they didn't extend a job offer, I was thoroughly impressed by their professional conduct throughout the process. The experience was enriching, and it provided me with a glimpse into a well-run organization, leaving me inspired and more knowledgeable for future opportunities. Their professionalism truly stood out, making the interaction memorable.
