The interviewer was really nice, we talked about my professional interests from working in a specific environment to broader consulting work. We clicked well. Then, she sent me some test cases to work on. I got an offer one week after submitting them.

I applied online for a Research Analyst job even after seeing bad reviews. I got contacted quickly to schedule a first round phone interview. The phone interview was pretty standard and included a question about which Research Center I'd prefer. They said I'd hear back in about 2 weeks about coming in for a final in-person interview. I waited over 2 weeks with no word, so I reached out. No response. Another 2 weeks passed, and I sent a second email. Still nothing. I wasn't surprised, but a heads-up would've been nice. Update: Over 8 weeks later, I got a generic email saying they'd hired someone else.

I had two interviews with research analyst/associates who focused on my resume's research experience. I elaborated on my background and research projects, and they seemed to think I explained my research skills and projects well. Unfortunately, I didn't advance to the next round with the founder. A week later, I received an email stating they wouldn't be proceeding with my application, which surprised me given my qualifications might even suit a Research Analyst III role. The overall experience was neutral, and their response time was adequate.
