Technical Presentation

The interview process was very detailed, involving a series of thought-provoking assignments followed by rigorous interviews that test researcher or consultant skills. I spent a year there and found the culture to be great.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process felt really drawn out, and it was a bummer not getting any feedback after it was all done. It's super important for companies to be mindful of how long things take and keep candidates in the loop, plus give some useful feedback so people know what to work on. If this is happening to you, maybe chat with the hiring team about it or look for jobs at places that are better at communicating clearly.

So, the interview process involves a few steps. First, they look at your resume. Then, there are phone interviews, and some technical tests. Finally, there are in-person interviews. They want to see if you have the skills, experience, and if you'd fit in with the team. The interviewer was really nice, by the way.
