First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Magid.
Financial Analyst
After applying online, I had an initial phone screening. They followed up quickly, then there was a Zoom interview, and finally an on-site interview. The on-site consisted of two separate interviews. They're pretty qualified, so you really need to know your stuff.
- Could you describe a model you built previously and explain how it enhanced business intelligence?
Quantitative Research Director
HR Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. The job was listed as NYC preferred, but open to remote, however they were not open to remote. The full interview process is interview with HR, interview with hiring manager, interview with a few team members together, interview with EVP, presentation to a larger group including all those you have previously interviewed with, and a final cultural interview with a couple executive leaders. Everyone I spoke with at the company was exceptionally kind and I could tell even from the interview process some of the smartest people I’ve come into contact with. My only disappointment was at the end of the process when asking questions around relocation. I had an open conversation with the recruiter about my concerns moving to NYC and asked several questions regarding relocation. I was told they would get back to me with answers to those questions, but the next communication I received was an email stating that because I was unwilling to relocate they were moving into different candidates.
- Tell me about a research project where you didn't get positive results.
- In what kind of work environment do you do your best work?
- What would you say are your strengths as a researcher?
Associate
So I had 2 interviews initially, and then they gave me a project to do. After finishing the project, I had to present it to the team, which was like a third interview plus the project work. They said they'd let me know in a week after the presentation, but I never heard back. It felt pretty disrespectful after all the time I put into it.
- What sparked your interest in this role?
- Could you describe your relevant background and experience?
Consulting Associate
I applied online and got a call right away. I had two phone chats and then an in-office interview, which the company paid for my travel to. It felt pretty laid-back, and I talked to a bunch of different people from the company. The questions they asked didn't seem very prepared or important.
- What makes you a good fit for this company?
