Asked for unpaid spec work. Interview was with 2 managers, one saying I would be a "cog in the machine" (love the transparency there) and the other behaving with an air of superiority and condescension.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at R.A. Malatest & Associates in Nov 2022
Interview
3 rounds - HR, manager and written - fairly straight forward, good communication. Very professional and I strongly recommend applying to this company. The company has good credentials and is a great starting point in research and consulting roles.

Interview
They sent me a writing and analysis test with the wrong instructions (and a hilariously bad typo). I called about this and was told not to worry about the test or spend a lot of time on it, but still do it, without ever receiving the right instructions. I’m not sure how that is a fair test but OK. I had a one-hour phone conversation with an HR person that was pleasant enough, but they did most of the talking and mentioned that their salaries were below the market, which was odd. As requested, I sent them sample work and references, as well as the completed test. I never heard from them again.
