      Parsippany, NJ
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Parsippany, NJ) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      I was contacted by an extremely rude recruiter who clearly knew nothing of the job and proceeded to downplay my accomplishments and outright insult me. The hiring manager was amazing, but what a bad start.
