No its just an interview! they said they narrowed down the list from 68 applicants to 4. then they just give out the placement to the fitting candidate

there was no assessment like an exam. but it was a microsoft teams style interview. first they asked practical questions.
They asked me about what recent coding project i did and how i did it. Also they gave me a question where i was presented with data, e.g. information on titanic survivors such as number of people, gender, where they got on. And this was to test my understand and how I would think of things

the next interview (two on the same day and same microsft teams call), was the personal questions. for example why did you choose astra zeneca, have you do team work, how would you deal with someone that isnt following your team.

ohh sorry to hear that. I thought that you have been invited to assessment center. so how long did they take to invite you for telephonic interview after the online assessment done ?

i think youre getting it confused. the whole talking with them on microsoft teams also inclduded the assessment. on the same day they asked questions about me and also asked technical questions.

I think it took maybe 2-3 weeks after applying for the role that that microsft reams interview happened
Yes I am confused SHL test is before telephonic interview or after because online it shows the process like this step
1 Online Application & CV
2 Phone Interview
3 Online Reasoning Tests
4 Assessment Centre / Group Exercise
5 Partner Interview

Anyways thank you so much for all the information
