Candidate-reported interview process

First, there was a 30-minute video call with one of the principal people, where they asked some technical questions based on my resume. After that, I had an onsite interview which consisted of 3 rounds: one behavioral, one statistical case study, and one technical coding round.

It was a phone interview. The recruiter started by asking about the projects I've worked on, specifically how I used R to analyze data. After that, they asked a few general questions.

I interviewed with the company at a job conference during a time when recruiters were visiting my campus. The interview was entirely behavioral, and it felt like a time for me to reflect on my previous internships and my viewpoints on data science. I didn't hear back from The Advisory Board Company after the interview.
