I applied online. I interviewed at Cawood Scientific in Jan 2026
Interview
Ghosted mid phone interview. The phone interview was going pretty well until the call disconnected whilst I was mid sentence, I couldn't call back as the interviewer had called with no caller ID, I sent 2 follow up emails to no response even two weeks later, so unprofessional, disheartening and a little cruel to do to a uni student. NRM location
Lengthy, initial chat with HR, teams call with general manager then over two hour panel I terrier at Manchester site in a cold boardroom, 4 hours of online proficiency and personality tests and a tour (that had to be asked for). Laboratories were filthy and cold. Told would hear back within a week and had to chase after 2. Told they were not progressing the application any further and did not respond to a request for feedback. This is appalling behaviour but from other reviews appears to be the norm. Building is in dire need of an update. Told not to be last onsite as it is a dodgy area.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cawood Scientific in Jan 2024
Interview
Contacted after a month of them receiving my application for an initial conversation. Said they would set up assessment and interview with general manager for later on that week. No contact made, after a few days I sent an email asking about progress which was completely ignored. Another company with HR employees that have no communication skills!
