i interviewed in fall 2023. started with an HR call, then a 3-hour virtual interview that included an Excel test which was pretty easy. after that, i had a panel interview where i spoke with multiple people in 30-minute intervals. it was all men, and one person at the end was incredibly rude, mean, and condescending. it made me not want to work with those kinds of people or in that environment. they also mentioned working overtime and on weekends, which suggests a poor work-life balance. after this lengthy process, they ghosted me even though they said they'd let me know the results.

The interview took about 4 hours. I met with consultant managers and we talked about my resume, research projects, schooling, and if I was qualified for the job. Overall, I'd suggest it but with a warning since some of the interviewers didn't seem very professional or welcoming.

It was good. It was scheduled for a 3 hour period but took about 2.5 hours. It was a remote interview, first half hour was an excel quiz - it was pretty easy, just basic stuff. Then 4 interviews back to back with 4 different directors. My interviews went pretty well so I was disappointed and surprised I wasn't offered the position:/ They got back to me in a few days.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Can you tell me about your resume?
