All the AZ recruiters follow the same playbook. They contact you in about two weeks time after applying. Then about another two weeks to schedule time to chat with the hiring manager. Then they make you prep and give a presentation for a Director level role with several folks on the call. This is giving free advice to the team on a topic of their choosing. Meanwhile they already have someone in mind internally. Many of the employees that are still working there have been there comfortably for 20+ years and are certainly threatened by those with a higher degree interviewing with them. All the while you have AI scheduling and following up with a survey request to give feedback on the recruiter and then a second survey after you meet with the team. Then you don't hear back after 1-2 months and are ghosted to only receive that generic rejection letter. Do better AstraZeneca!
