BrusselsPosted May 2017 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview process stretched out across most of a day.

I met with multiple people in R&D as well as an HR officer. The staff were professional and friendly, but the core of the process was demanding: I was asked to present a talk with Q&A on a topic they chose.

The topic wasn’t aligned with my scientific background, so although I put together what I felt was a well informed presentation, the technical questions that followed pushed into areas where I couldn’t answer confidently. It also left me feeling like the role description didn’t realistically match the level of general knowledge they expected during the conversation.

What really soured
