It was easy then hard. The HR and hiring manager interview went well until the panel interview which I had to present, I went a bit over and didn't get to ask the questions I wanted
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in May 2025
Interview
Initial interview with HR was via Zoom, took around 30 minutes. The interviewer was pleasant, but didn’t really ask me to expound on my answers or explain further. They asked standard questions, and explained the details of the job.
Interviews for an MSL position at AstraZeneca include four stages:
1. an initial conversation with the recruiter,
2. a Zoom interview with the recruiter and a senior MSL,
3. an on-site simulation that includes presenting a scientific paper and answering related questions, and
4. a final interview with a senior manager and the Head of Medical.
Overall, the process is very clear. It is somewhat long, but the overall experience is very positive.

Achei o processo bem interessante e muito acolhedora a entrevista com o RH. Porém, nunca mais me deram um feedback (mesmo que negativo). Gostaria de ter tido alguma posição pois isso gera muita expectativa. Ficar sem saber se deu certo ou errado, se o processo continua ou foi interrompido não é legal.
