Technical Case Behavioral
The interview process was great. There were two rounds. The first round was like quick questions, but the interviewers were friendly. The last round had 5 interviews and included a case study. I felt I did really well and expected to get the job, but it didn't work out.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I had my first interview with the recruiter, and it was a positive experience. They asked some basic questions to see if I was a good fit. Then, I had to complete an assessment that covered the OSI model, Windows 7, and some outdated tech. My second interview was a Zoom call, and it was really awkward. I'm not sure if it was me or the interviewer. They asked a lot about the command prompt and PowerShell, like how to list computer drives. I admitted I don't use that command much anymore, mainly for network issues and Autopilot device registration. They mentioned 'Microsoft 365' out of the blue, and I wasn't sure what they were looking for, so I talked about the tools I do use, like Entra ID and fixing Teams login problems. They also probed about my past short-term jobs, wanting more details than I was comfortable giving. The conversation didn't go well, and it was honestly the worst interview I've had in years. The interviewer even questioned if I understood their answer to my question about leadership. It was just a strange interview overall. I decided to withdraw from the process because it didn't feel like the right place for me. I'm pretty sure they weren't going to offer me the job anyway, and I'm fine with that.

Behavioral Technical Case
The first part was a 30-minute online chat with someone who is also a Research Assistant. They asked pretty standard stuff about working with others, my data analysis skills, and my past research, including an economic research project I’m doing and one I wasn't a fan of. The second round was way longer, about five hours total. It was broken up into interviews with Principals and Senior Research Assistants, each lasting 45 mins to an hour, with short breaks in between. These interviews really dug into my research history, how I handle datasets, and specifically how I make sure my work is accurate. There was also a case study that took an hour, which I thought was medium difficulty.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
We did all the interviews over Zoom, both the first and second rounds. First, they'll email you to figure out a good time. Round one is pretty much behavioral, and they might ask you to go over your resume with them. It's only about an hour long. You'll find out about the final interviews in about a week. The final interviews are technical and behavioral, with several principals and associates, and you'll have to present your dissertation. The whole thing takes about 5 hours.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you tell me about your dissertation?
- What made you interested in working for Brattle?
- Describe your experience managing a project, such as the one you mentioned.
