Genista Biosciences Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty standard for a software engineer role. It included both technical and behavioral questions. Overall, it was a decent experience, and I'd consider interviewing here again.

I had a phone call with the Head of Design, which was mostly a behavioral interview about my general qualifications. I did well enough to move to a second round, a technical interview. The interviewers were super late, more than 20 minutes. The questions weren't too hard, and they answered any questions I had. I managed to answer both questions, fixed up my code when we reviewed it, and even pointed out some potential issues with my solutions. After it was done, they said they'd get back to me in a few days about next steps, but then they just ghosted me. Totally unprofessional.

The first interview, the interviewer was late and didn't contact me. I messaged them on linkedIn after waiting for 7 min. They then showed up, didn't apologize or mention why they were late and just got straight into "tell me a bit about yourself." They seemed a bit uninterested but otherwise the interview went okay. They told me they would get back in a week or so. A month later they got back to me and scheduled me for a second interview. I considered taking it to see if the second interaction was going to give me a better picture, but decided to decline and focus on other interview processes instead.

There was 1 round, a 3-on-one interview. It focused a lot on work experience and projects. They asked about how I handled things, stakeholder management, and my strengths and weaknesses. They also asked about how analysis was done, what kind of data was used, and how it helped the business.
