      Computational Drug Designer Interview

      Jul 23, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Exscientia

      Interview

      Long, disorganized and a complete waste of time. They do not seem to show a minimum of respect for the candidate, expecting them to be available for multiple rounds of interviews (where you get to answer the same questions that you answered in the previous rounds) which are rewarded with yet another round of interviews until you decide not to continue with the endless process. I personally gave up after the fifth or sixth round. I am still amaze at their ability to request potential interview dates/times within a certain week to end up choosing whatever time works for the interviewers during a different week. Although the current employees seem genuinely happy, the recruitment process exposes many red flags that cannot be ignored. It is hard not to recommend avoiding them at all cost.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Normal questions regarding your previous experiences. Leadership may ask the kind of conceptual, fuzzy questions that you would expect from someone who does not know the subject they are talking about, while wanting to appear competent on the field.

      Computational Drug Designer Interview

      Aug 2, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Oxford, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Exscientia (Oxford, England) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      Good and enjoyable despite being nervous. It was slightly lengthy (Phone Screen, Technical and a Panel) but I understand this is a technical role and important to get the right fit. I really enjoyed that I got to meet with the whole team and Executives - it felt like Exscientia wanted to ensure there was a good fit for both parties.
