I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Philadelphia, PA) in Jun 2013
Interview
I was interviewed by 5 people. Starting with the lowest in rank and ending with the highest, a senior VP. Questions were fairly straightforward, no tricks or anything. Everyone was very kind and courteous.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Case style" question asking what I would do in a certain situation when a doctor was being particularly difficult
Great initial telephone screen by a third party that works closely with AZ. Questions asked included: salary requirements, professional background summary, current location, driving record.
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Jan 2014
Interview
Referred by an educator who had worked with the company on a product launch. I was initially contacted by a recruiter and we did a phone interview a few days later. It was a résumé overview and a couple of behavioral based questions. I was then scheduled for a face to face with the hiring manager, who was exceptionally warm yet very professional. She was interviewing more candidates this week (my interview was last week) and said she would let me know about the second interview.
