I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Brüssel) in Oct 2022
Interview
First a phone call, then an interview with the future team, then a meeting with HR. The phone call and the interview with the team were pretty quick and the whole process looked at the time fast-paced, easy and friendly which motivated me.
The first red flag however happened when the HR didn't show up at the planned time at our meeting and not exactly gave a satisfactory answer for this super unprofessional performance. We rescheduled the meeting for the following day, and everything looked ok in spite of what happened. The HR said that would contact me after so I kept waiting. I had to send a follow-up email to see how the process was going. I would have preferred to be told straight away that I did not have the requirements for the position than to be put on a waiting list.
For a company considered a "great place to work" I would like to say that it was very sad to see that the HR team acted contrary to the values they defend. I definitely do not recommend this company.
Very friendly and focused on behavioral questions. It was a lot less stressful than what I had expected and we finished on time for a couple minutes for me to ask some questions to them.

Interview
The process was automatic. I had to record 4 4-minute answers to simple questions like 'why us', 'your proffesional background', 'what are you working on right now'. The interview system provided options to prepare yourself to the rocording process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
'why us', 'your proffesional background', 'what are you working on right now', 'does your school provide an internship program'.
Really badly organised, the person who was meant to call me for my screening call just did not, so I had to follow up with them myself. Bad communication, was extremely late to respond to all my questions
