I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fios Genomics (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Aug 2020
Interview
2 stages.
- First stage was to get an understanding of what you are like. This was more like being on an episode of mastermind than a 2 way conversation.
- Presentation of your experience and how it was relevant to the role. The presentation was designed to be 30 minutes and there were questions throughout so the overall interview took 1hr30.
I believe they were interviewing 3 candidates for the role. I did not get a curtesy email to say that I hadn't got the job. In fact, I only got a reply after sending 3 follow up emails. This did not include any feedback at all despite investing a significant amount of my time in the process.
Overall this seems extremely arrogant. Don't waste your time applying unless you really want to work here.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and the other standard questions.
Many thanks for taking the time to write the review. I was sorry to read you didn't find the experience positive. We don't have any record of anyone sending 3 follow up emails and all unsuccessful candidates were informed after the interviews were completed (<2 weeks after your interview). We conducted nearly 50 interviews at Fios last year and we try to give feedback where this is requested. I apologise if your request fell through the cracks. I hope you have been successful elsewhere in your job search.
