      Research Scientist Interview

      14 Dec 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Coventry, England
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Genentech (Coventry, England) in Aug 2020

      Interview

      It was a phone call where the interviewer asked questions about communication skills and very limited technical questions. It was followed by a second interview with one of their research scientist. He didn't ask any question and just asked me to talk about what I like to talk😬. It seemed to me that they already had chosen the person for the position, because he was not listening to me and completing ignoring me by opening door, talking to others while I was talking. It was very unprofessional.
