      Associate Director - Project Biology Interview

      1 Oct 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Manchester, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Exscientia (Manchester, England) in Sept 2024

      Interview

      Very positive all in all. The team are very friendly and professional and the interview process was well organised, efficient and not overly long. Had some good, stimulating discussions with teams I would be working with in the future and questions were relevant to the role and my prior experience. Started with two initial screening calls with Talent Acquisition and the Hiring Manager to get a feel for the role, followed by a more formal interview. Formal interview consisted of a 25 minute presentation and Q&A of ~15 minutes, then interviews with key personnel. Formal interview took around 3 hours. Everything was conducted online, which was very helpful. Whole process from initial call to job offer took around 4 weeks.
