Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso GSK (Stevenage, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
Initial online application included questions about my values and why I wanted to work at GSK. This was followed by numerical and logic tests. Everyone that I know applied to the company successfully passed these.
I was then invited to an interview in Stevenage, conducted by three people in the department. They initially asked me what I knew about the role and whether I had any questions about it, then followed up with a series of competency questions. The questions didn't specifically address my scientific knowledge, though I did try to provide examples from previous scientific experience when asked about troubleshooting, successes, etc.

Colloquio
Split into general interview and technical interview. Very standardized format where no follow-up questions are asked by interviews. General interview involves STAR questions. Technical interview consisted of testing job-specific knowledge.
Full assessment day with a technical and behavioural interview in the morning with two interviewers then a group interview in the afternoon with other student candidates and a panel of around 5 interviewers. For the second part they gave us a case study and observed how we interacted with each other to answer a scientific problem.
