I applied through other source. I interviewed at Acumen Research Laboratories (Singapore) in Jan 2021
Interview
The CEO initiated the connection via LinkedIn and wanted to do a have an exploratory chat. After agreeing to her proposed timing, I called her on her mobile but was in vain. Message and call were not attended to. An hour later, she finally responded saying she's available to do the call without even apologizing or explaining why she did not show up earlier. It's a poor reflection of her as a leader for the company. She doesn't even have the basic respect for other's time. It was definitely an unpleasant experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Acumen Research Laboratories (Singapore) in July 2020
Interview
Very pleasant and enjoyable, I could ask several questions too. They also showed me round the whole facilities, it was a nice and newly renovated lab, with good equipment. Most of the staff look like under 40 years old, quite a few are young graduates.
