The Alan Turing Institute interview questions

There were three stages to the application process: first submitting the CV, first round interview, second round interview. The first round interview was fine: engaged interviewers and fair questions about a project I presented. After that things started to go downhill: I first received a rejection e-mail, and was then told that this was a mistake and that I had an interview at a time with no option to change when it was. During the interview, I was repeatedly asked to make medical recommendations despite not being medically qualified, the job not being medical, and none of the panel being medically qualified. This was entirely inappropriate and unethical, and I have still not received any response about this after communication my concerns. When I asked about maternity leave policies, the senior member of staff was not able to answer on any details, deferred the question to the only woman on the panel, and then interrupted her. Upon receiving my rejection and asking for feedback, it was seemingly copied and pasted and primarily consisted of suggesting I do an unpaid internship for the organisation.

Panel interview. A one hour competency based interview + questions aimed very specifically at the project being hired for. Different panel members tested/probed different areas of expertise required for the post.
