Austin, TXPosted Oct 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Research Analyst role and found the experience uneven: heavy data focus early on, with a few moments that felt unprofessional.

HR phone screen — An HR recruiter call, followed by moving to the main interview stages.
Back-to-back interviews (three people per session) — Two interview sessions with multiple interviewers, each about 45 minutes.
Data-heavy questions — A major surprise was how analytical and data-focused the questions were, despite it not being clearly reflected in the job description.
Mixed interviewer tone — One interviewer’s demeanor in the first interview disrupted my confidence; the second interview went better overall. Outcome: I did not receive an offer, and my takeaway
