Behavioral Other
The interview process wasn't very relevant to the actual job, and the time management was really bad. It felt like the questions weren't directly related to the role or based on competencies. Senior directors seemed disengaged, more interested in who I knew in the company. Overall, it was a poor experience.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied for a Business Intelligence - Research Associate role for the Africa Practice by sending in my CV and cover letter. After that, I was given a 2-part writing test which included a research task and a creative writing question. Then, I had my first interview with the directors of the Africa Practice BI&I team. After that went well, I had a second interview, which was the final one, with someone from operations and a senior analyst from the BI&I Africa Practice team. It was a really positive experience because everyone was nice and clear about things. The HR person was super responsive and encouraging. I was really bummed not to get the job, but the Director offered a helpful feedback call when they let me know.

Technical Coding
First, I sent in an application with a short motivation statement (under 200 words) and my education/work history. Then, I got a written test to finish in under 2 hours. It had 3 parts: reviewing and shortening 3 statements for clarity, summarizing a 1.5-page analysis on Venezuela in 100 words for a busy client, and writing entries for the firm's Terrorism Tracker based on 2 news links about terrorist incidents, following specific rules. I didn't get past this stage, which I think would have been an interview. The whole thing felt a bit long, maybe because of the pandemic? I did get a rejection email from a person, which was nice, but they ghosted me when I asked for feedback.

It was an automated interview that lasted about 20 minutes. The trickiest part was answering the questions concisely, within 45-60 seconds. Even though the interview was a bit tough due to the time limit, I actually liked it because the questions were more interesting than the standard competency questions.
