They asked for a video interview that I had to pre-record. If selected to continue, there would be a follow-up with a real person. Ultimately, I didn’t get the job because they were looking for someone who lived in London.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation
It started with a 30-min phone screen where we basically went over my resume. Then I had a 2-hour remote writing test. This writing test had two parts: writing an executive summary for a made-up research report and a 1-page response to a question about business ethics. About a month later, HR reached out for an in-person interview. This was a 3-4 hour session, which included separate chats with my potential direct boss and the director. It ended with a relaxed coffee chat with two current employees, which felt more like an info session.

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.
