Cambridge, EnglandPosted Dec 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

This interview depended a lot on lab choice, and mine ended up being relaxing and positive.

I gave a presentation, and after that we discussed my future plans.

Then the day included a tour of the building and the labs, and I met people from the group. That combination made the experience feel less like a high-stakes interrogation and more like getting a real sense of whether I’d fit with the environment.

I didn’t receive an offer, but it left me with the impression of a calm, human process. The format helped me process things without feeling overwhelmed by constant testing.
