I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Nov 2020
Interview
A very nice interview process, with about a month from my initial application to offer. Everyone was very friendly and kept regularly in contact to keep me updated.
Began with a 15 minute phone screen (nothing to worry about, they are just checking you are eligible to work/able to relocate if needed etc).
Then had the interview. It was a panel interview lasting 2.5 hours. The first step was a 30 minute presentation, followed by a 45 minute technical interview (this was quite challenging!) and finally 45 minute values interview.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Jan 2020
Interview
I have been contacted by a recruiter, got a first phone interview with the group leader of about 30 min to know each other. After 1 week got a full interview with presentation, technical interview and competency interview. Comptency interview has weird questions but you can find them on AstraZenaca website. Technical interview was tough and I was very dispappointed and almost depressed afterwards.
