Initially, I was shortlisted and invited for an interview for the Medical Advisor – Oncology role. However, as directed by the interviewer, the interview was instead conducted for the Medical Science Liaison – Oncology position. Following that, I had a screening call for the MSL – Oncology role, which took place after the in-person interview. During this call, the interviewer merely acknowledged that the interview had already taken place. Additionally, I have received no communication regarding the status of my application for the MSL – Rare Disease role—neither a screening call nor any email updates. Furthermore, I was informed about the outcome of my application for the MSL – Oncology position via phone after I requested the feedback once this was not delivered as promised by the interviewer during an in-person interview, despite having completed the interview process. I also want to highlight the following issues I encountered: Lack of interviewer preparation: interviewer was not aware of my background as stated on the CV despite being shortlisted Interview for the wrong role: The interviewer was not prepared for the intended role and conducted the interview for a different position. Last-minute cancellation: The initial screening call was canceled without proper notification or explanation. Overall, I have noticed a lack of clear communication and inconsistencies in the process related to my application. Given AstraZeneca’s reputation, I would have expected a more structured and professional approach to candidate interactions. Additionally, the interview was confirmed at short notice 2 days prior to the actual interview. The interviewer had no specific information about the position.

Invited for an interview and the person conducting the interview didn’t show up for the scheduled time on four separate occasions spanning the course of over a month. Very unprofessional and it was not communicated to me that they would not be moving forward
