I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Gaithersburg, MD) in June 2010
Interview
The process was conducted by Korn Ferry. The required an online test, more of a personality assessment. I then interviewed with my direct supervisor and others in the department with whom I would be interacting. Since the position would be serving other departments as well, I interviewed with those departments.
