I applied online. I interviewed at ApconiX (Alderley Park, England) in Aug 2022
Interview
I first had a video call with the lab manager, also director and co-founder of the company. After this I was invited to an in-person interview, expenses covered by ApconiX. Unfortunately it was towards the end of Covid restrictions and I was unable to attend, however they moved it to an online video call. I first had to give a presentation to the team I would be working with, and later that day I had a call with 2 people from other teams who asked me more about my soft skills and my personality. They care deeply about who they hire and want to make sure it is a good fit in the team, not just someone with good skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why would you like to work here?
What makes you happy?
Can you give me an example of a time where things did not go as expected, and how you reacted?
it was an interesting process and I met some very nice people. In addition, they were fairly prompt in getting back to me which was quite nice. I wasn't sure how to answer some of the questions however.
