I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Costello Medical (Cambridge, England) in May 2021
Interview
1st stage- Covering letter application.
2nd stage- provided a research article of a drug trial and asked to provide figures, answer questions about the findings and methodology and provide a brief literature review against these findings. I was given just over a week for this.
3rd stage- Asked to prepare a 10 minute presentation on the same drug, covering key questions, followed by pre-set questions (standardised for everyone). Then a 40 minute standard interview with two other people. You are then offered a break if needed before taking a 50 minute proof reading exercise (online).
The first round was a more informal phone call. After I passed this, I was provided a technical assessment that was graded before they shared the opportunity for a final technical interview.

Interview
Costello seem to have an open job advert and it appears they are only after the very best. An extremely time consuming technical assessment which seems very other the top for an entry level role. On top of that they give very generic feedback about grammar for the written assessment which I know is not true as I made sure to be very thorough. It seems crazy to reject a candidate for grammar given grammar and AL tools are used nowadays rather than judge them on their scientific capabilities.
