I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Mar 2021
Interview
I submitted application then was reached out to by a recruiter. We had a short 30 minute discussion about my resume and expected pay. The next step was a 30-45 minute talk with the hiring manager/project lead at AstraZeneca. The third part of the interview was a whole interview day. I was being interviewed during Covid so mine was virtual. I gave a 30-45 minute seminar talk that included questions at the end. The rest of the day was spent doing short interviews with various people at AstraZeneca including current employees to get a sense of the work environment. Overall it was a great experience!
