I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Alderley, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Contact with AstraZeneca was via HAYS. Invited for interview with 4 days notice. I met 2 interviewers (one male, one female). Across the table talking, no presentation was necessary. Lasted less than 1 hour. Later that afternoon (Friday) I missed a phone call. It was to tell me that I got the job. So I didn't know until Monday. I started 2 weeks later.
