      Difficult interview

      Application

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in May 2010

      Interview

      I had a phone screen and was scheduled for a face to face interview with 2 hiring managers within 2 weeks of the phone screen. The hiring manager stated the company was looking to fill the position within a 4 week time period, but after 2 failed attempts to check on my status, I never got word if I was moving forward a month after the interview. Finally, I did receive an email at the end of March stating I was not selected to move forward. However, around mid-April I received a phone call from the hiring manager to come back for a second interview. The second interview last about 30 minutes and again I was told I would be contacted in the next few weeks, to which I never was.

      Tell me about a time when you didn't get along with colleague? What was the situation and how did you handle it?
      Answer question

      I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca

      Interview

      We started with a phone interview and then moved on to a virtual interview. After the virtual interview, there was a 3rd interview with upper management. Finally there was a 4th call with management that didn't feel as much like an interview.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Apr 2020

      Interview

      The recruiter was very professional and respectful, responsive and answered my questions and phone calls. The manager (who would not have been the manager that I was to work for) was NOT. She opened by saying that we really weren’t having an interview, we were ‘having just a chat’. This apparently meant that I was not allowed to expand on my answers in any way or to bring out applicable skills sets. She only wanted background information as it related to job experience, no embellishments please.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      She asked questions about products and customer calling points.
