I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Genomics England
Interview
The process consisted of a screening call, timed test and final interview with a presentation. All were conducted online. It was not particularly difficult. There was a long time gap between the screening call and final interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Genomics England in Mar 2024
Interview
The process was relatively well organised. Started with a screening interview with talent acquisition, then an interview with a senior bioinformatician, followed by an offline coding test. There would have been a final panel interview but I didn't get that far! There were mostly standard bioinformatics questions on the test, but time is pretty tight.

I interviewed at Genomics England (London, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
Initial coding interview at home, with general data wrangling exercises (4) and biology questions (4), about 1h 20min long, which was a bit tight to finish everything in time. Second interview going over CV and previous experience in bioinformatic analyses.
