I was referred for the position and then got an email from HR for a phone screening, which went well and involved going over my CV. The next week, I had a video interview with the hiring manager where we discussed the role and my CV in more detail. They were aiming to make a decision that week and said I'd hear back, but I didn't. I had to follow up for another week to find out I wasn't selected.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process started with a phone screen, then a phone interview, and finally three in-person interviews. The interviews included typical questions about my current role, background, and reasons for seeking a new opportunity. Most interviewers shared their vision for the role and the organization. The phone screen was standard and the communication was very friendly and positive. The phone and in-person interviews covered standard questions along with more relaxed discussions about our backgrounds and strategy. One in-person interview focused on technology and tools. Another in-person interview started late, the interviewer seemed uninterested, checked their phone, barely spoke, and didn't show me out.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process kicked off with a two-interviewer panel, including a manager and a research analyst colleague. This initial stage primarily delved into behavioral questions and my past higher education experiences. Following that, I had a discussion with the VP. The plan was for a third, on-site interview at their headquarters, which would have involved more technical tasks. Overall, it was a very pleasant and engaging interview experience. I really enjoyed the conversations about higher education and data analysis, and I appreciated their accommodating approach to working hours for individuals in different time zones.
