I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AstraZeneca
Interview
Did a phone screening where they are just testing to see if you are personable. They will ask you STAR questions and will ask you to describe a time you did a presentation. Then did a personality questionnaire then proceeded to do a face to face interview with 2 DSM. After that I did a ride along with a sales rep then had a brief meeting with one of the DSM and just talked to her about how my day went. I was offered the position a couple days later. Make sure to do your research on the company!! I had no experience in the industry but because I was so prepared they were very impressed.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
