      Graduate Research Associate Interview

      Nov 16, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience

      Application

      I interviewed at GLG

      Interview

      First round interview included introductory CV discussion, and then a role play exercise and a case study exercise. Final round consisted of 3 interviews, and was competency based and culture based.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How have you dealt with unresolvable conflict in the past?
      Answer question
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at GLG (Glasgow, Scotland) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      Beginning of the process was great, however problems with the recruitment team and ignorance from their part after first round interview. Very unprofessional. Online application with a CV and cover letter sent in November, followed by a 30 minute phone interview with their recruiter a week later. The interviewer asked behavioural and competency based questions. I was immediately invited to attend the first around interview, which would be held in a week. Very accommodating about doing the interview online. First round had three parts with three separate interviewers: 1. Introduction into the role and motivation behind applying. Very simple and straightforward. 2. Role play, where I was given a scenario of interviewing a potential client. Five minutes to prepare, then introduce GLG, and why the client was wanted for the job. 3. Analysis case study: Questions behind specific drug discovery. Their way of seeing how you approach a problem. In general, the interviewers were very pleasant and encouraging. The interview was held on Thursday, I was told I would hear their decision on Tuesday; however heard nothing back. I emailed them, no reply. I called them, but could not get in touch with either of the recruiters I had been dealing with for days. Finally got through, and was told this specific recruiter only dealt with the early stages so he could not inform me on the progress. He promised to contact the other recruiter on my behalf, but again, heard nothing back. Even voice mails were left unanswered. Eventually received an email in January, almost two months after my interview, saying I had not passed through to the second stage (which was quite clear at this point). Very unprofessional and slow. Not worth the time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      General competency based questions relating to fast-paced environment and working with clients.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GLG in Aug 2018

      Interview

      The first step is sending CV and Cover Letter online. Afterwards, they invite you to do a video interview. If they like you, they invite you for a phone interview with a recruiter. The recruiter was very pushy and I did not prepare at all so I was not successful. There would have been 2 more rounds of interviews with role plays and case studies before the job offer.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      What is the compliance policy of the company?
      Answer question
