The hiring process for this role was extreme and required a significant amount of work on my part. I had multiple video interviews and was then asked to write a piece of research, create a PowerPoint presentation and deliver a research brief via video. This required at least 3 days of work. After this, I was invited to an in-person interview. I received a sense of a micro-management culture when I saw I was interviewing with 5 levels above my hiring manager. The interviews went well but it was clear the only person making a hiring decision was the Chief Research Officer who was 4 levels above the hiring manager. He made several disparaging remarks about the research analysts as well as boasted about how many candidates got to this point without getting an offer. He clearly liked playing the "you're lucky to be here card" which gives you some insight into his significant ego. Very unprofessional. The really concerning aspect of the process was how they dealt with compensation. The recruiter hard court pressed me about my salary history. The offer was well below what they had described. Once I received an offer I was also told I had to give them 2 years worth of W2s. Needless to say, I declined the offer. Don't apply for this job unless you are willing to jump through hoops, put in a great deal of work and share your confidential financial information.
