      Senior Scientist Interview

      7 May 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Melrose, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Melrose, MA) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      I applied for a same title position in the same group under a different requisition number in October 2024 and heard nothing for nearly 3 months. At the end of January 2025, I had a Zoom interview with an AZ recruiter regarding the position. Note, I did not have access to the job description to this position and so did not know if it was notably different from the original I applied to. The hiring manager was interested enough with me to schedule a follow-on 1:1 Zoom call in February. At the end she told me to expect at least 2 weeks for her to interview others and then make a decision about who would continue. 2 weeks elapsed, and I checked the job portal (Workday) and saw I was listed as being interviewed but under yet another requisition number. Nearly a month and a half elapsed before I received the rejection email- oddly the req. # was different once again! (WTF?) I was told, "Following careful consideration, we won’t be taking your application any further on this occasion." As expected THESE days, I got no reply to my request for detailed feedback as to why I was dropped from consideration even though the recruiter provided her email at the end of the message.

      Anonymous employee
      Cambridge, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Cambridge, England)

      Interview

      First round: virtual interview, you get 2 questions and you need to record your answers and submit. Feels impersonal. Final round: values interview with the team leads, followed by technical interview (short presentation, standard questions). Meet the team session was nice.
