I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Gaithersburg, MD) in Oct 2011
Interview
Initial contact was through HR screening personnel. They were very cordial and professional. Next step included a phone interview with the hiring manager. Excellent questions were exchanged on both technical and non-technical topics. Contacted a few days later to set up an on site interview. Interview was very good, interviewers were prepared with questions. Discussions were honest and informational.
Regular QA questions about JD description, self introduction, daily work, challenges, career development in 5 years, expected team environment, strength and weakness. A lot of regular questionsA lot of regular questions
Standard fare in talking to people doing interviews showing off cv. the usual interview that is required to take a job. nothing out of the ordinary. everything you would expect
I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Jan 2026
Interview
Interviews were very well organized and hiring manager was very communicative. However after interviewing in-person with the entire team (about 10-12 people for about 4 hours) I was ghosted. The director as they walked me out after interviewing said I would hear back either way in 1-2 weeks. That was three months ago. I almost expect to be ghosted if it was just a zoom interview, but it is disappointing they did not have the courtesy to say that I was not selected when they said I was one of the top candidates during my lengthy in-person interview. Everyone I interviewed with was nice and honest and happy to answer any of the questions I had. Due to both the good and bad, I gave the overall experience a neutral.
