      Research Specialist Interview

      1 Feb 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Westlake Village, Los Angeles, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at JD Power (Westlake Village, Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2010

      Interview

      I was interviewed by a number of project teams, as well as extensively by the project team that I was going to be working with. Overall it seemed as though they were trying to get more of an idea of my personality than trying to see what skills I brought to the table. The people were all very friendly and laid back, but didn't seem enthusiastic about the company.

      Interview

      I applied online through a staffing agency. I interviewed with the staffing agency and with the research department. Overall the interview process was very straight-forward. The questions asked were mainly about my skills set, and a few were about my ability to work in a team environment. The people I interviewed with were very nice and knowledgeable about the work they produce.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at JD Power (Troy, MI) in July 2010

      Interview

      Calm interviewing process - you do not feel like you're being interrogated,,,, you feel more like you are just having a discussion about what your work history and experience is. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a professional environment - it's just less emphasis on talking about all the "fluff".
