I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Economists Inc
Interview
Initial Phone Screen After which they asked me to send transcripts, cover letter and reference letter from previous role. Followed by 2 panel interviews back to back 1 with 2 economists 1 with 2 associates/sr. associates Invited in person for a panel interview with 4 associates followed by an interview with Managing Director followed by lunch. Then.... They scheduled me for one more round of interview and then received no response. Reached out to them again, where I was asked to share basic contact info for three co-workers from my previous company. I reached out again after sensing inactivity only to be told two weeks later that they will not move forward any more with my candidacy. The process took a solid 2 months and a lot of interview rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you leave your previous role ? What did you like and not like about your previous role? What are your skills in data analysis ?
I was invited to fly down to Washington, D.C. and the company was generous enough to provide a hotel for one night and a form that when filled in would cover all transportation costs. Upon the next morning, I met with the H.R. representative, and then rotated between two Senior Associates, and a group of all of the other Associates who work together on the same team. Each rotation was roughly 30 minutes equally an interview process of 2 hours. At the end lunch was provided and I had the opportunity to converse with the other Associates and ask more interpersonal questions.
