Clueless upper management , interview is an insult - AMEA

Amea commercial head

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

-exciting portfolio -flat structure

Cons

-CEO personally selects top , experienced candidates and subjects them to rounds of rigorous interview with no objective in mind -Makes candidates prepare business plan without any background information given - final decision made to offer senior level job as a 3 months contract role for trial as they felt candidates had no prior genomic experience ( definitely so as genomics is a very new genre)
