I interviewed at Oxford Nanopore Technologies (Oxford, England)
Interview
An online interview focused on coding ability, where you had to code in front of the interviewer. Never heard any response after this interview despite following up, but as it's a big company I wasn't surprised.

Interview
Online interview over zoom. Required to answer around 4 different coding questions in a chalkboard style. Draw back was this was required to be answered on a google doc page. Individuals gave good feedback during the interview process, including advice about future applications.

Statistical question about base-pair distribution within a read
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Oxford Nanopore Technologies in Jan 2015
Interview
The two interviewers showed up 20 minutes late with no apology and barely an acknowledgement of the fact. I was taken into a room and asked mainly about unix and SQL. the interviewers did not seem at all knowledgeable on either topics. No tour of the company and no background was given. Interviewers came across as decidedly boorish and arrogant in a manner reminiscent of their CTO with whom I had worked some years earlier at another company.
