      Cambridge, East of England, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Cambridge, East of England, England) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      There were 3 main interview rounds and then a few additional chats with more senior members of the team. The 3 main interview rounds were a telephone interview, technical interview and a values interview. The telephone interview is just a chat with basic questions and is about half an hour, the technical interview is an hour long and is where they'll question your scientific knowledge and the values interview is when they ask you how you've dealt with certain situations to see if it meets the company values.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Values interview: How have you dealt with conflict in the workplace
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Values interview: Is there a situation in which you have made a mistake and how did you deal with it
