Interview
The interview process for a Statistical Programmer role at AstraZeneca typically begins with an HR screening to assess your background, availability, and interest in the role. This is followed by a technical interview focused on SAS programming, CDISC standards (SDTM, ADaM), TLF generation, and clinical trial knowledge. Some candidates may be given a programming test to evaluate coding and problem-solving skills. A behavioral or competency-based interview is also common, assessing communication, teamwork, and alignment with AstraZeneca’s values. In some cases, a final round with senior managers may be conducted to evaluate overall fit within the team and company.
