I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Economist Intelligence Unit (Calcutta) in June 2023
Interview
Started off nice. But got worse as the interviewers started laughing at me mockingly when I wasn't able to answer a question. That broke my confidence . I have given my interviews but never faced such ridicule. If they behave this badly with potential candidates, I wonder how they treat their employees. I even went ahead and asked for a feedback from the HR. He said he'd respond but hasn't replied till date. Overall bas interview experience. The worst of all, in fact
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is GDP deflator. Continued to grill me with this for a long time. What is a unit root. No answer I have satisfied them. They kept twisting everything until I gave up. Cut me off midway many times citing time crunch. but left no stone unturned to grill me.
I applied online. I interviewed at Economist Intelligence Unit (London, England)
Interview
4 stage interview process consisting of initial interview, then an excel test to test maths, then a written report on a topic that is quite long. If successful you then have a final interview
I had a test in 1h40mins and it was fine overall. One part of the test was MS Excel and sure everyone will be ok with this. The other was writing an article about macro-economic situation of an economy.
