      Graduate R&D Scientist Interview

      29 Aug 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Wellingborough, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at U-POL (Wellingborough, England) in Aug 2019

      Interview

      I applied for the role via Gradcracker. I then had a 30 minute phone interview which I passed and then went to Wellingborough the following week for the face to face interview. A personal quality interview followed by a site tour followed by a technical interview and then a presentation on a scientific topic of my choosing. The interview was quite long but interesting and the staff were friendly. The company were also very responsive and gave me honest feedback when asked.
