I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Cambridge, England) in Jun 2022
Interview
2 rounds. 1 with 2 associate directors and then 1 with the head of department. Technical questions specific to the role plus previous experience questions along with some specific scenario type questions.
The first round went really well and the hiring manager was pleased with my ideas in the second round. But in the second round, there was a guy from the business and he went on asking questions that actually didn't matter much for the role and I had no prior experience in that area.
I am really disappointed as why would I waste my time making a PPT for them after the first round if they had no intention of hiring me!! And the questions in the second round had NOTHING to do with my presentation & ideas. So I wasn't briefed in advance about it. It was a total waste of my time & energy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The HR asked me about my performance development goals. Honestly if I had some good goals in my current company I wouldn't be applying for another job.
The truth is that I don't have any and I couldn't tell that in the interview.
