      Industrial Placement - Organic Synthesis Interview

      20 Oct 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Macclesfield, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Macclesfield, England) in Nov 2013

      Interview

      The assessment centre ran from roughly 10am - 4pm (around 30 people present). Initially we had a presentation from management explaining the day and giving some detail on the job. Then there were group tasks (building a tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows) and individual technical interviews. After lunch they arranged tours of the site with current placement students.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Give an example of an organic reaction which you have carried out at University? (Follow up questions on selectivity, kinetics etc).
