I interviewed at AstraZeneca

Interview

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.

Difficult Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca

Interview

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.

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.

Any genuinely good way to answer the "biggest weakness" question without sounding like a cliche. Anyone have any good examples?

I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.

I was promised a decision made by mid last week. I followed up on Thursday last week and got a response the update is now followed up with the hiring manager and their director and expect hear back by middle of next week. What should I be expecting if it’s delayed on promised update timeline from the hiring manager interview?
