Scendea interview questions

HR interview — pretty generic questions about your motivation, experience, and reasons for wanting to work at the company. Verbal reasoning test. Written task — referenced scientific essay that needs to be completed within two hours. Interview with heads of regulatory and product development. Presentation on a given topic.

I applied through Linkedin and was initially invited to an approx 30 minute call with the recruiter, who asked me some basic questions to see what I understood about the role, and why I was interested. After that I was invited to a Zoom interview with the same recruiter, and with the COO. This was very pleasant and they seemed genuinely interested and engaged. However, disappointing, I never heard anything more from Scendea after that. While I was very interested in the position, I was put off during the recruitment process by the fact that Scendea do not permit hydrid/remote working for their junior employees. They responded only with vague statements about company culture when asked more this. They seem to view hybrid working as a privilege to be earned, rather than something which is standard in other comparable companies.
