Screen call from HR, interview with Hiring manager was quite rushed, and questions were not as in-depth as I would have expected. The whole process went quite fast and although I was not offered the position I was given feedback.

Question 1
How do you feel your expertise can be applied to this position?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Maryland City, MD)

Recruiter screen, then manager interview. Manager was looking for specific skills. There was a list of skills that were not listed in the job posting but were important for the position.

Interview
After the recruiter approach, they gave the final round interview directly, lasting four hours. Two of them are technical, and one of them is behaviour. Please make sure you have prepared a story for each of their core values
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.
