Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpiroChem (Basel, Basel-City) nel mese di gen 2025
Colloquio
Standard questions about yourself and technical chemistry questions and synthesis. Not easy but doable if you know your name reactions. All in all very friendly impression.
2nd round onsite with a CV chat and synthesis of one large druglike molecule. Also some more mechanisms and name reactions.
