      Junior Research Analyst Interview

      7 Oct 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at ValuePenguin

      Interview

      I had to carry out a case study, comparing different MBA programs for a prospective student. It was a comparative guide. They also asked how I would improve the website.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Asked to fill out a candidate exercise, was pretty lengthy
      Answer question
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ValuePenguin

      Interview

      Overall, it was a pretty involved interview process. It included a take home writing assignment, phone conversation with HR manager, and three in-person interviews. I spoke to employees at every level, including another Jr. Research Analyst and the CEO, and had conversations about my professional experience, personal interests and hobbies, and an in-person case study. The process was hands down the most efficient, respectful, and transparent that I have encountered. The HR manager was extremely communicative about next steps in the process, and there were no unexplained gaps in correspondence. My sense is that they really care about making people feel appreciated and valued, both as candidates and employees, and have worked to improve upon negative reviews written here. My only recommendation would be to share information about the candidate more readily between interviewers. I answered some of the same questions 7 or 8 times, which can feel redundant and frustrating. In the end, I wound up taking an offer from another company before hearing back yes or no from ValuePenguin.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why ValuePenguin/personal finance? When was the last time you had to research something dull?

      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ValuePenguin (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Three interviewers. First two are resume run-throughs (from what I can remember). Third is a casual interview just to pick up on your vibe. Be prepared to address everything on your resume. The third guy was nice. Second was ok, but less nice. The first interviewer was quite awkward and she seemed like she wasn't interested in the whole process. Rude demeanor. The feel that came across was that she didn't like me from the start. That may not be true, but who knows. Kind of felt as though my time was wasted.
