I had two interviews, they were both quick and direct. Nothing tricky was asked. I think I did well in the interviews, but they didn't pick me for the job in the end.

Behavioral Case Technical
The interview was with two senior people and it was pretty chill. They asked about my past experience and skills. There was also a case study where I had to talk about policy implications in a relevant area. This interview was supposed to be the first of a few, and I'm up against interns and other staff already at the company.

The interview process was extremely lengthy. I waited months in between steps. After the second interview I was told I'd hear back within a few weeks...it has been almost two months and I haven't heard back.

- A lot of substance related questions on the research topics were asked, and questions from the phone interview and in-person interview were repetitive.
