I interviewed at UK Research and Innovation (Cambridge, England)
Interview
separate HR and Technical interview. HR questions were typical ‘tell me a time you dealt with…’ and questions about following safety protocols. Technical part was difficult and with two interviewers - one asking hardware related questions and the other coding/ logic (flowcharts).
One interview containing a series of competency based interview questions directly related to the essential criteria outlined in the job description. They also requested candidates prepare to give a presentation on a specified topic beforehand. The interview panel consisted of three people.
