I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Jul 2013
Interview
After finished on-line application, I got an Email with a link to chose the date that appropriate for a telephone interview. The interview lasted about 30 min. Basically the process was back ground check and going through the on-line application form from the beginning to the end. I gave a range of the salary that's acceptable on the application form, but the interviewer insisted that I give him a bottom line for it.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Cambridge, East of England, England)
Interview
First stage: Phone interview from an outsourced company. Simple questions, nothing technical.
Second stage: In-person interview - Two interviews (1h each) with panel of two experienced scientists. Questions were focused on both technical and soft skills.
