Candidate-reported interview process
The interview was about a business case. I had to pretend to make an outbound call to an expert in a specific field and explain how I'd go about talking to them to get more info. It was like mimicking a real outbound call.
After filling out a basic application form, I was invited for an online interview (Take the Interview). The questions were pretty straight-forward, with a time limit for each question, either 30 seconds or one minute to answer with 30 seconds to prepare for each question. Afterwards I received an email with an invitation for a face-to-face interview at their office (I have yet to go to this interview).
I put in an application for a research intern role and sent in my CV along with a 200-word explanation of why I was interested in the position. A few days later, I got an email asking me to do an online video interview. The recorded answers were then sent off for review.
