Candidate-reported interview process

I first sent in my resume and cover letter. After that, I had a phone interview with some people. Then, I had an in-person interview where I met with about 4 people.

Applied via company website and was contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone screening. The interviewer was rushed and seemed to want to move on quickly. The interview was brief, about fifteen minutes. The interviewer went over the job duties and asked about my prior research experience. I was told that Stata is preferred at AIR.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. It helps to know someone there for a callback. Referrals are preferred. I had one phone interview and then two face-to-face interviews.
