I applied online. I interviewed at EAB in July 2017
Interview
Applied online, and received invitation for phone screen after one week. The phone screening is standard, e.g., walking through resume, why this company, why this position, research experience. Few weeks later was contacted for a 90 minutes writing test and a 60 minutes case/fit interview. The writing test is reasonable and I enjoyed the process completing it. The case/fit interview is also enjoyable, as my interviewee is very friendly and professional. The staff I communicate with are very friendly and nice to talk with. Be prepared that they may adjust the position you are applying for through the process based on your performance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a research project you led. how would you handle different attitudes towards yours.
3 rounds - (Recruiter, generic test , assignment) - just to get the hiring manager to explain WHAT the position was actually all about, and what skills were required :( The recruiter was not able to address any of my role related questions at the outset.
EAB has an organized, well thought-out interview process. I had a call with a recruiter, a test and take-home project (a timed essay), and then two rounds of interviews with case-study questions.
