I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hanover Research (Arlington, VA) in Aug 2016
Interview
I applied for Market Research, but got an email from HR, suggesting to look into another role( Survey design). First round is an online assessment to be done for about 55min. they are more of personality questions, odd man out etc. After 2 weeks, I interviewed with HR for 30 minutes and at the end of the call, she told me that, they are happy to move for next round, which is Survey Assessment. It has data from survey and corresponding questions that need to be addressed. However the questions are clear, the wrting part or answers part as to what they are looking in it is unclear ( More on analyis or more on looking for poilished client presenatations) . I worked on it for 8hours over 4 days and sent them the assessement. I got reject after a week mentioning that, they are looking for some one with more client side presenation and wirting related experience. I felt bad as , I have spent more time on analysis, than polishing it. The overall process took exactly 1 month and felt that, I was robbed of my time as my resuem speaks of my rleated experience, which they have shown as concern for rejection
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you didn't enjoy the interview process for our survey role. We are upfront during the interview process that the 'homework assignment' is rigorous and it simulates the type of projects a researcher would receive in the role. Clients sometimes provide very little direction as they rely on the researcher to be able to apply the appropriate methodology and analysis expertise. Polished writing is also essential for all of our research roles. Researchers are expected to produce error free work thus enabling the editors to review their work quickly and get the finished product to our clients as expeditiously as possible.
