The hiring process at Compass Lexecon takes an average of 14 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Analyst had the quickest hiring process (on average 14 days), whereas Analyst roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 14 days).
The standard process entails one interview lasting 60 minutes, where the first half is dedicated to motivational questions and the second half to a case study. The interview was held with an analyst and an economist from different offices, the motivational part revolved more around them asking whether you understand what they actually do and why you want to work there. The case study was simple, in the sense that they did not go into detail with the description and don't expect you to go in detail with the answers, and questions were mostly focused on the econometrics of damages estimation, or practical questions such as where would you be getting your data from.
I applied online. I interviewed at Compass Lexecon (Madrid)
Interview
Primero un test de razonamiento verbal y abstracto; segundo una entrevista con 2 personas del equipo; tercero una entrevista con el que sería tu jefe de equipo. Entrevistas muy estándar.
Two nice people had a Zoom call with me, asked me some questions about myself and wanted to learn about my job market paper. They were weary about me not really being interested enough in financial consulting.
