      Medicinal Chemist Interview

      May 8, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Barcelona
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Acellera (Barcelona) in Apr 2024

      Interview

      The interview consisted in a presentation from my side with my professional and academical background explaining my studies as well as some projects in which I took a key role. The interview was done with HR and the CEO. I have to say that I have never experienced such an uncomfortable and negative interview. The attitude of the CEO was deplorable, he arrived late, over expressed boredom while I was presenting my background, doubted about the skills I specified in my CV (although they were quite specific),and he even left the interview for a couple of minutes... Definitely a place to avoid if you want to preserve your mental health, a toxic environment can be deduced from the CEO attitude. Interestingly, many people is aware of this situation, as some researchers with permanent positions in academia and several candidates confirm point by point this attitude.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Which are your coding skills? So, you only do scripts? Which were your marks during the degree? (During my presentation) Don't explain this, I'm not interested.

      We sincerely apologize if your interview experience did not meet your expectations. Remote work is great but also means that sometimes there can be unexpected distractions. While we considered rescheduling to ensure a smoother process, our intention was to respect your time and proceed as planned. We appreciate your understanding and will reevaluate our approach to such situations in the future. At Acellera, we strive to create a supportive, innovative, and non-bureaucratic environment that champions science, creativity, and excellence. We offer a culture-rich workplace with psychological safety, freedom to act, off-sites, free perks, unlimited holidays, and an amazing team. However, our recruiting process is highly selective in pursuit of this excellence, which regrettably means not all talented candidates can move forward. We value your input and will use it to further refine our interview procedures. We hope you will consider future opportunities with Acellera.
