I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Birmingham, AL) in Apr 2012
Interview
Recruiter called for phone screen. Asked typical questions. Computer generated personality screen test required. Had excellent rep denied interview due to this personality test -- not sure what exactly the computer was looking for but they missed a highly qualified candidate by using a computer instead of real,humans to decide who can get a one on one interview. I had a One day interview with 2 managers. STAR questions. Hiring decision made within a week. Two managers interviewed candidate in same room, taking notes, sticking to,guideline questions they have been given by upper management.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to confront an unethical situation,
We started with a phone interview and then moved on to a virtual interview. After the virtual interview, there was a 3rd interview with upper management. Finally there was a 4th call with management that didn't feel as much like an interview.

Question 1
Can you give us a time where you had a disagreement with a manager? What was it about and how was it resolved?
Phone screen first. 2nd interview with 2 DMs. Mostly STAR questions and how you handle situations. Want to make sure you are good fit with company and goals. Reviewed my sales experience, but focused on my personality and how I would respond in various scenarios.

Question 1
Describe a time you didn’t get results you wanted and how did you drive performance?
I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca in Apr 2020
Interview
The recruiter was very professional and respectful, responsive and answered my questions and phone calls. The manager (who would not have been the manager that I was to work for) was NOT. She opened by saying that we really weren’t having an interview, we were ‘having just a chat’. This apparently meant that I was not allowed to expand on my answers in any way or to bring out applicable skills sets. She only wanted background information as it related to job experience, no embellishments please.
